<description>
    <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 
    has the SO_KEEPALIVE attribute set on it by default. (see <smbconfoption name="socket options"/>). 
Basically you should only use this option if you strike difficulties.</para>
