This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
204
Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
205
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
206
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
207
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
208
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
209
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
210
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
300
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
308
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
309
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
310
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
311
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are
312
added together to give the total time value, so all of
313
<quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
314
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
315
<quote><literal>5m 30s</literal></quote> will give a value
316
of five minutes and thirty seconds.
337
The timeout is how long the server will wait, after a
338
successful checker run, until a client is disabled and not
339
allowed to get the data this server holds. By default
340
Mandos will use 5 minutes. See also the
341
<option>extended_timeout</option> option.
344
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC
345
3339 duration; for example
346
<quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning
347
one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
348
minutes, and six seconds. Some values can be omitted, see
349
