<term><option>timeout<literal> = </literal><replaceable
125
104
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
107
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
128
110
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
129
111
successful checker run until a client is considered
130
112
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
150

<term><option>interval<literal> = </literal><replaceable
151
133
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
136
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
154
139
How often to run the checker to confirm that a client is
155
140
still up. <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a new checker will
156
141
not be started if an old one is still running. The server

>COMMAND</replaceable></option></term>
159
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
174
162
This option allows you to override the default shell
175
163
command that the server will use to check if the client is
176
164
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
196
184
><replaceable>HEXSTRING</replaceable></option></term>
187
This option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>.
199
190
This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies
200
191
the public key that clients authenticate themselves with
201
192
through TLS. The string needs to be in hexidecimal form,
209
200
>BASE64_ENCODED_DATA</replaceable></option></term>
203
If this option is not specified, the <option
204
>secfile</option> option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>
212
208
If present, this option must be set to a string of
213
209
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
214
210
to the client matching the above
226
222
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
227
223
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
230
If this option is not specified, the <option
231
>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them
232
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.

<term><option>secfile<literal> = </literal><replaceable
239
230
>FILENAME</replaceable></option></term>
233
This option is only used if <option>secret</option> is not
234
specified, in which case this option is
235
<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
242
238
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
243
239
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
244
240
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
245
241
will be sent to clients verbatim.
248
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
249
present, if <option>secret</option> is not specified.
244
File names of the form <filename>~user/foo/bar</filename>
245
and <filename>$<envar>ENVVAR</envar>/foo/bar</filename>

256
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly
257
<emphasis>recommended</emphasis> unless the
258
<option>checker</option> option is modified to a
259
non-standard value without <quote>%(host)s</quote> in it.
259
262
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
260
263
directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
261
264
checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.
