<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="DEADTIME"/>deadtime (G)</term>
		<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>

		<para>A deadtime of zero indicates that no auto-disconnection 
		should be performed.</para>

		<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">deadtime = 0</command></para>
		<para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">deadtime = 15</command></para></listitem>
