The idle-timeout-secs setting is 0 by default, which defeats the 
setting. This leaves the server vulnerable to a DoS, per trog in a 
recent post.

The use of this settings is thus highly recommended, and we feel that 
the default should be something other than 0 (iow, enabled). I think 300 
is a reasonable default (although not necessarily optimal).

I'm sure Sam had reason to choose 0 as a default, but I can't imagine 
what that would have been, other than not being able to determine what 
an appropriate default value would be. Sam?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this that they'd like to share?
