This reminds me of one of my own blunders a while back.
One time I put no exec-time on the vty lines.
Every time I opened a telnet session I got disconnected after remaining idle
for a few minutes. Without thinking about the consequence I would telnet in
again and use another vty line until all 5 vty lines were in use.
When I got disconnected again all 5 vty lines were in use and would not time
out of course.
I finally realized that my firewall was timing out the idle TCP session
after 5 minutes (which is normally a good thing).
Anyway, I had learned that it is a "bad idea" to use "no exec-time" on the
vtys in a production environment.
