           Summary: Keep Alive packets
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: pieter at vodacom.co.za
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Would it be posiable to add a "keep alive" option to rsync. The 
problem I am having is that the connection is dropped while rsync is 
scanning the local directory. If "null" packets are send to the server 
every 60 seconds or so, the connection will stay up and the sync will work.
