Be extremely careful if you configure an exec-timout of 0 0 on a vty port. It will never release! So when you drop the connection and again telnet into the box you now have one less open port. After five times (or number of vty ports) you are locked out of the box. Should you still be inclined to use this - then either (a) don't save the config (so someone can power cycle the box to let you back in) or (b) change the setting before you log off.
