<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="KEEPALIVE"/>keepalive (G)</term>
		<listitem><para>The value of the parameter (an integer) represents 
		the number of seconds between <parameter moreinfo="none">keepalive</parameter> 
		packets. If this parameter is zero, no keepalive packets will be 
		sent. Keepalive packets, if sent, allow the server to tell whether 
		a client is still present and responding.</para>

		<para>Keepalives should, in general, not be needed if the socket 
		being used has the SO_KEEPALIVE attribute set on it (see <link linkend="SOCKETOPTIONS"><parameter moreinfo="none">socket options</parameter></link>). 
		Basically you should only use this option if you strike difficulties.</para>

  		<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">keepalive = 300</command></para>
  		<para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">keepalive = 600</command></para>
