7 <para>The value of the parameter (an integer) represents
8 the number of seconds between <parameter moreinfo="none">keepalive</parameter>
9 packets. If this parameter is zero, no keepalive packets will be
10 sent. Keepalive packets, if sent, allow the server to tell whether
11 a client is still present and responding.</para>
13 <para>Keepalives should, in general, not be needed if the socket
14 has the SO_KEEPALIVE attribute set on it by default. (see <smbconfoption name="socket options"/>).
15 Basically you should only use this option if you strike difficulties.</para>
