Heh, I was just about to ask about this before you committed.  This
actually applies to all of our rc.conf settings.  It looks like a lot are
of the form:

        case ${tcp_keepalive} in
        [Yy][Ee][Ss])
                echo -n ' TCP keepalive=YES'
                sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive=1 >/dev/null
                ;;
        esac

Again, I suck at shell scripting, so I need some help with the
interpretation.  Does this mean that TCP keepalive=NO will do nothing, and
the kernel default will stick?

Thanks,

Mike "Silby" Silbersack
