Fat fingers (keypad), should have been "1" ;^)
You are right, the connection doesn't time out if set to "0".

IMHO, ControlPersist is still missing an option to terminate the
connection STRAIGHT after the last client disconnects without locking
the terminal from which the first connection originated.
The only way this will work is if every subsequent connections exits
before the initial one is terminated.
Now, all we have "no" for "don't go to background", "yes" for "stay in
background indefinitely, until terminated manually" and "n" for
"terminate after n seconds" with "n -eg 1". What about "exit straight
after last connection terminates". I do appreciate the fast that "0"
might confuse since it usually means "never" but that what else would
make sense, "wait", "last", "zero"?
