      The server will, by default, continually check that the clients
305
316
      are still up.  If a client has not been confirmed as being up
306
317
      for some time, the client is assumed to be compromised and is no

      longer eligible to receive the encrypted password.  The timeout,
 
318
      longer eligible to receive the encrypted password.  (Manual
 
319
      intervention is required to re-enable a client.)  The timeout,
308
320
      checker program, and interval between checks can be configured
309
321
      both globally and per client; see <citerefentry>
