We also turn the off here. We have users who need to rsh to each and
every client (around 1000 or so) to update a config and then we run out
of TCP connections since most of them are still in FIN_WAIT (or what
ever the state is).
I guess what I am saying is that in cases where you recycle TCP
connections on a quick basis, keepalives causes you to run out
of connections prematurly (sic).
