    <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>
