Surely that violates POLA? 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.
