This file is used by both mandos(8) and mandos.conf(5), since these
7
options can be used both on the command line and in the config file.
9
It is also used for some texts by mandos-client(8mandos).

If this is specified, the server will only announce the service
17
and listen to requests on the specified network interface.
18
Default is to use all available interfaces. <emphasis
19
>Note:</emphasis> a failure to bind to the specified
20
interface is not considered critical, and the server will not
21
exit, but instead continue normally.
25
If this option is used, the server will only listen to the
26
specified IPv6 address. If a link-local address is specified, an
27
interface should be set, since a link-local address is only valid
28
on a single interface. By default, the server will listen to all
29
available addresses. If set, this must normally be an IPv6
30
address; an IPv4 address can only be specified using IPv4-mapped
31
IPv6 address syntax: <quote><systemitem class="ipaddress"
32
>::FFFF:192.0.2.3</systemitem ></quote>. (Only if IPv6 usage is

<emphasis>disabled</emphasis> (see below) must this be an IPv4

If this option is used, the server will bind to that port. By
39
default, the server will listen to an arbitrary port given by the

If the server is run in debug mode, it will run in the foreground
45
and print a lot of debugging information. The default is to
46
<emphasis>not</emphasis> run in debug mode.

GnuTLS priority string for the <acronym>TLS</acronym> handshake.

The default is <quote><literal

<literal>:+SIGN-DSA-SHA256</literal></quote>.
54
See <citerefentry><refentrytitle

56
<manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> for the syntax.
57
<emphasis>Warning</emphasis>: changing this may make the
58
<acronym>TLS</acronym> handshake fail, making server-client
59
communication impossible. Changing this option may also make the
60
network traffic decryptable by an attacker.

<quote><literal>Mandos</literal></quote>. This only needs to be
66
changed if for some reason is would be necessary to run more than
67
one server on the same <emphasis>host</emphasis>. This would not
68
normally be useful. If there are name collisions on the same
69
<emphasis>network</emphasis>, the newer server will automatically
70
rename itself to <quote><literal>Mandos #2</literal></quote>, and
71
so on; therefore, this option is not needed in that case.

This option controls whether the server will provide a D-Bus
76
system bus interface. The default is to provide such an

This option controls whether the server will use IPv6 sockets and
82
addresses. The default is to use IPv6. This option should
83

IPv4-only environments</emphasis>. This is because <citerefentry>
85
<refentrytitle>mandos-client</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry> will normally use
87
IPv6 link-local addresses, and will not be able to find or connect
88
to the server if this option is turned off. <emphasis>Only
89
advanced users should consider changing this option</emphasis>.

This option controls whether the server will restore its state
94
from the last time it ran. Default is to restore last state.

104
If this option is used, the server will not create a new network
105
socket, but will instead use the supplied file descriptor. By
106
default, the server will create a new network socket.
