6 <para>The value of the parameter (an integer) represents
7 the number of seconds between <parameter moreinfo="none">keepalive</parameter>
8 packets. If this parameter is zero, no keepalive packets will be
9 sent. Keepalive packets, if sent, allow the server to tell whether
10 a client is still present and responding.</para>
12 <para>Keepalives should, in general, not be needed if the socket
13 has the SO_KEEPALIVE attribute set on it by default. (see <smbconfoption name="socket options"/>).
14 Basically you should only use this option if you strike difficulties.</para>
16 <para>Please note this option only applies to SMB1 client connections, and
17 has no effect on SMB2 clients.</para>
