+		<listitem><para>The value of the parameter (a decimal integer) 
+		represents the number of minutes of inactivity before a connection 
+		is considered dead, and it is disconnected. The deadtime only takes 
+		effect if the number of open files is zero.</para>

+		<para>This is useful to stop a server's resources being 
+		exhausted by a large number of inactive connections.</para>

+		<para>Most clients have an auto-reconnect feature when a 
+		connection is broken so in most cases this parameter should be 
+		transparent to users.</para>
+
+		<para>Using this parameter with a timeout of a few minutes 
+		is recommended for most systems.</para>
