The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
88
the service. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even

if a client was declared invalid in a previous run of the

The possible options are:
116
<emphasis>Note:</emphasis> all option values are subject to
117
start time expansion, see <xref linkend="expansion"/>.
120
Uknown options are ignored. The used options are as follows:
176
182
This option allows you to override the default shell
177
183
command that the server will use to check if the client is
178
still up. The output of the command will be ignored, only
179
the exit code is checked. The command will be run using
180
<quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
181
<option>-c</option></command></quote>. The default
182
command is <quote><literal><command>fping</command>
183
<option>-q</option> <option>--</option>
184
%(host)s</literal></quote>.
184
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
185
the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command
186
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
187
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
188
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
189
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
190
value for the checker command is <quote><literal
191
><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
192
>--</option> %(host)s</literal></quote>.
187
195
In addition to normal start time expansion, this option
218
226
to the client matching the above
219
227
<option>fingerprint</option>. This should, of course, be
220
228
OpenPGP encrypted data, decryptable only by the client.
221
<!-- The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command -->
222
<!-- >mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum -->
223
<!-- >8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can be used to generate it, -->
227
Note: this value of this option will probably run over
228
many lines, and will then have to use the fact that a line
229
beginning with white space adds to the value of the
230
previous line, RFC 822-style.
229
The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command
230
>mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum
231
>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can, using its
232
<option>--password</option> option, be used to generate
236
Note: this value of this option will probably be very
237
long. A useful feature to avoid having unreadably-long
238
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
239
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
242
If this option is not specified, the <option
243
>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them

The same as <option>secret</option>, but the secret data
257
is in an external file. The contents of the file should
258
<emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but will be

sent to clients verbatim.
262
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be

directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
