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).
