That upsets people who have keepalive turned on already and find 1 week is way too long. For instance, we use keepalive to get rid of stuck netscapes, and we'd probably run out of swap or mbufs if it went up to a week. We just managed by putting this in rc.local: sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive=1 Make it a rc.conf knob if anything. David.
