The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
110
successful checker run until a client is considered
111
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
112
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
115
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
116
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
117
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
118
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
119
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
120
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are

added together to give the total time value, so all of

<quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
123
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and

142
<quote><varname>timeout</varname></quote> occurs, at which
143
time the client will be marked invalid, and any running
144
checker killed. The default interval is 5 minutes.

The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
303
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
304
until a client is disabled and not allowed to get the data
305
this server holds. By default Mandos will use 5 minutes.
308
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
309
space-separated number of values, each of which is a

Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
332
after a password has been sent sucessfully to a client.
333
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
334
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
335
matchine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
336
when changing this value is system file checks and quota
337
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.

The format of <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is the same

as for <varname>timeout</varname> above.

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