The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
64
the service. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even
65
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.

106
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
109
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
121
added together to give the total time value, so all of
122
<quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
123
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
124
<quote><literal>5m 30s</literal></quote> will give a value
125
of five minutes and thirty seconds.

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

How often to run the checker to confirm that a client is
139
still up. <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a new checker will
140
not be started if an old one is still running. The server
141
will wait for a checker to complete until the above
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
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.

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