Description Ossama Othman 2003-09-18 17:11:43 CDT

It may be useful to randomize the default accept() timeout value instead of
using a constant default (currently 10 seconds).  The idea is to prevent
potential timed DoS attacks.  For example, the default accept() timeout could be
a random value between some range such as 8 and 12.

Same as bug 1594.
