The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
107
successful checker run until a client is considered
108
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
109
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
112
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
113
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
114
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
115
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
116
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
117
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are
118
added together to give the total time value, so all of

120
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and

How often to run the checker to confirm that a client is

137
time the client will be marked invalid, and any running

152
This option allows you to override the default shell

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
192
Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
193
after a password has been sent sucessfully to a client.
194
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
195
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
196
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
197
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
198
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.

non-standard value without <quote>%%(host)s</quote> in it.

252
will wait for a checker to complete until the below
253

The timeout is how long the server will wait, after a

successful checker run, until a client is disabled and not
327
allowed to get the data this server holds. By default
328
Mandos will use 5 minutes. See also the

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