This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.

The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
111
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
112
until a client is disabled and not allowed to get the data
113
this server holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
128
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
129
successful checker run until a client is considered
130
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
131
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.

The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a

still up. <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a new checker will
141
156
not be started if an old one is still running. The server

will wait for a checker to complete until the above

This option allows you to override the default shell
163
175
command that the server will use to check if the client is
164
176
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
169
181
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
170
182
value for the checker command is <quote><literal

This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies

If this option is not specified, the <option

If present, this option must be set to a string of
209

base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent

223
227
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.

If this option is not specified, the <option

This option is only used if <option>secret</option> is not

242
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret

243
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
240
244
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
241
245
will be sent to clients verbatim.
244
File names of the form <filename>~user/foo/bar</filename>
245
and <filename>$<envar>ENVVAR</envar>/foo/bar</filename>

This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly
