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

The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a

successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
113
until a client is considered invalid - that is, ineligible

to get the data this server holds. By default Mandos will

The timeout is how long the server will wait for a

successful checker run until a client is considered
130
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server

164
174
This option allows you to override the default shell
165
175
command that the server will use to check if the client is
166
176
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
171
181
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
172
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
211
213
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
212

to the client matching the above
224
226
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
225
227
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
230
If this option is not specified, the <option
231
>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them
232
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.

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

237
<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
240
242
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
241
243
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
242
244
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
243
245
will be sent to clients verbatim.
246
File names of the form <filename>~user/foo/bar</filename>
247
and <filename>$<envar>ENVVAR</envar>/foo/bar</filename>

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

258
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly

<option>checker</option> option is modified to a
261
non-standard value without <quote>%%(host)s</quote> in it.

Host name for this client. This is not used by the server

checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.
