The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
65
the service. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even
66
if a client was declared invalid in a previous run of the

even if a client was disabled in a previous run of the server.

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.
116
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
117
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
118
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
119
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
120
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
121
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are
122
added together to give the total time value, so all of
123
<quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
124
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
125

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

not be started if an old one is still running. The server
142
will wait for a checker to complete until the above
143

144
time the client will be marked invalid, and any running

checker killed. The default interval is 5 minutes.

The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
301
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
302
until a client is disabled and not allowed to get the data
303
this server holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
306
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
307
space-separated number of values, each of which is a

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

314
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
315
