LIST_FILES_TIMEOUT option for NetBackup clients

The LIST_FILES_TIMEOUT entry specifies how long to wait for a response from the server when it lists files by using the client-user interface or bplist. If this time is exceeded, the user receives a socket read failed error even if the server continues to process the user's request. The default is that LIST_FILES_TIMEOUT is not in any bp.conf file and NetBackup uses a value of 30 minutes.
