Connection timeout in client doesn't take effect

[handewo]

 let config = client::Config {
        connection_timeout: Some(Duration::from_secs(5)),
        ..<_>::default()
 };

When I connect to a ssh server that is not existed, the time elapsed during connection with server is longer than connection_timeout.
Is it a useless field in client::Config?

The option is somewhat misleadingly named (thrussh legacy) - it's in fact the inactivity timeout after a live connection is closed. If you want to time out when setting up a connection, you can just use tokio::time::timeout. I'll keep this ticket open to rename the option later.

misleadingly

I got it, but this option looks like doesn't use anywhere.

It's used once the connection is running. If there's no messages (keepalive or otherwise) for connection_timeout, it gets disconnected.
