As I understand it, it would always on, and 'one-week' would be the default. Old (traditional) programs that turned it on would be given the 'traditional' timeout of 1 hour. Or something like that. Off == 1 week KEEPALIVE ON == traditiona 1 hour KEEPALIVe. Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
