      The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
68
 
      the service.  All clients listed will be regarded as enabled,

      even if a client was disabled in a previous run of the server.

      the service.  The settings in this file can be overridden by
 
76
      runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.

167
 
            the exit code is checked:  If the exit code of the command

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

            <quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
337
 
            minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively.  The values are
338

            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC

            <quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning
 
353
            one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
