Default sshd doesn't time out

i want to cut out connections of users that have been idle for some time.
just to test it use ClientAlive* options. set *Interval to 1 second and *CountMax to 2 so in 4-5 sec connection must be killed. now by idle i mean user doesn't type any commands and/or watching some output of a command e.g dmesg (if that make a count for "idle").
default fbsd 7.0, ssh version OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007.
the problem is that, that ClientAlive* options doesn't do anything - e.g connection still alive after 5-10 mins
fbsd is running on vmware on windows host, using putty to connect. try it from within vmware, e.g. fbsd to fbsd ssh connection - no time out, try it on physical machine - same.
any input appriciated

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.  See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented.  Uncommented options change a
# default value.

# Note that some of FreeBSD's defaults differ from OpenBSD's, and
# FreeBSD has a few additional options.

reload, restart, start/stop, install from ports ( fetch the source and use --prefix=/some_dir, started it from $prefix ) and again no time out. is ClientAlive* depend on something else like PasswordAuthentication on ChallengeResponseAuthentication option ?
