    Log Message:
    Close any open message base after input timeout (5 minutes)

    As Nelgin pointed out, the nntpservice can leave a message bases open while
    a client is idle. Normally, an inactive client would be disconnected after 5 minutes of inactivity, so that wouldn't be much of an issue. However, if authenticated as a user with the H-exemption, no auto-disconnection after
    input timeout would happen. So let's close any open message base for good measure.

    The input/receive timeout probably should be configurable and lowered to
    a smaller duration (one minute?). I'll leave that for another commit.

    Log Message:
    Close an open message base after just 10 seconds of client inactivity

    ... and log a debug-level log message when doing so.

    The current input/receive timeout duration (5 minutes) might be a bit long to leave a message base open (though, there's no known issue with doing so). For example, when users read message bases using the terminal server, they can sit for much longer than 5 minutes reading an open message base.
