3 <listitem><para>The value of the parameter (a decimal integer)
4 represents the number of minutes of inactivity before a connection
5 is considered dead, and it is disconnected. The deadtime only takes
6 effect if the number of open files is zero.</para>
8 <para>This is useful to stop a server's resources being
9 exhausted by a large number of inactive connections.</para>
11 <para>Most clients have an auto-reconnect feature when a
12 connection is broken so in most cases this parameter should be
13 transparent to users.</para>
15 <para>Using this parameter with a timeout of a few minutes
16 is recommended for most systems.</para>
18 <para>A deadtime of zero indicates that no auto-disconnection
19 should be performed.</para>
