The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
111
successful checker run until a client is considered
112
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
113
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.

Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
211
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
212
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
213
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
214
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
215
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
216
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.
