    Apply inactive_hangup option (for dumb terminals) using max_socket_inactivity · b91e7771
    Rob Swindell authored
    this insures that inactive dumb (bot) connections will be disconnected even
    when using a script (e.g. animated pause prompt) that doesn't time-out.
    
    Also, if the connected node is the last node (for this sbbs instance), divide
    the socket inactivity timeout value in half.
    
    These changes (along with sbbs v3.20) should help with DOS (denial-of-service,
    not MS-DOS) prevention.
    
    Mainly for Krueger.
