The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
86
the service. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even
87
if a client was declared invalid in a previous run of the

the service. The settings in this file can be overridden by
70
runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.

(See the section called <quote>PERSISTENT STATE</quote> in

The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
131
successful checker run until a client is considered
132
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
133
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
136
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
137
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
138
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
139
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
140
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
141

Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
199
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
200
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
201
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
202
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
203
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
204
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.

259
<quote><varname>timeout</varname></quote> occurs, at which
260
time the client will be disabled, and any running checker

<synopsis><literal>host = </literal><replaceable

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
331
The timeout is how long the server will wait, after a
332
successful checker run, until a client is disabled and not
333
allowed to get the data this server holds. By default
334
Mandos will use 5 minutes. See also the
335
<option>extended_timeout</option> option.
338
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
339
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
340
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
341
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
342
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
343
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are
