The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
110
successful checker run until a client is considered
111
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
112
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.

The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a

<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
