The login process should always timeout if user don't login sucessfully within reasonable time. Otherwise we're sensetive to a DOS attack by simply doing a bunch of simultaneous telnet connections (deploys all availible TTY's). This patch make login.c terminate the connection after "TIMEOUT" seconds.
