Update the ssh-comman-args

Discovery: https://github.com/quipucords/rho/blob/master/rho/host_discovery.py#L121 --ssh-common-args="-o ServerAliveInterval=10 ClientAliveInterval=120 ClientAliveCountMax=0"

Host Scan: https://github.com/quipucords/rho/blob/master/rho_playbook.yml#L10 ansible_ssh_common_args: '-o ServerAliveInterval=10 ClientAliveInterval=600 ClientAliveCountMax=0'

Unfortunately it looks like ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax are only sshd configuration options, not ssh options. Unless the user has already configured sshd with these options on their remote machines, we can't use them.

See https://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config and https://linux.die.net/man/5/sshd_config .

ServerAliveCountMax is a thing on the client side, but I'm not sure if it will be helpful here.

Let's close this out then. Nothing to do.
