+ <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>
+
+ <para>A deadtime of zero indicates that no auto-disconnection
