210
Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
211
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
212
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
213
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
214
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
215
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
216
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.

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.
343
The timeout is how long the server will wait, after a
344
successful checker run, until a client is disabled and not
345
allowed to get the data this server holds. By default
346
Mandos will use 5 minutes. See also the
347
<option>extended_timeout</option> option.
350
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC
351
3339 duration; for example
352
<quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning
353
one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
354
minutes, and six seconds. Some values can be omitted, see
355
RFC 3339 Appendix A for details.
