The file &CONFPATH; is a simple configuration file for
83
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>mandos</refentrytitle>
84
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, and is read by it at
85
startup. The configuration file starts with <quote><literal
86
>[DEFAULT]</literal></quote> on a line by itself, followed by
87
any number of <quote><varname><replaceable>option</replaceable
88
></varname>=<replaceable>value</replaceable></quote> entries,
89
with continuations in the style of RFC 822. <quote><varname
90
><replaceable>option</replaceable></varname>: <replaceable
91
>value</replaceable></quote> is also accepted. Note that
92
leading whitespace is removed from values. Lines beginning with
93
<quote>#</quote> or <quote>;</quote> are ignored and may be used

The file &CONFPATH; is a simple configuration file for mandos
84
and is looked on at startup of the service. The configuration
85
file must start with <literal>[server]</literal>. The format for
86
the rest is a simple VAR = VALUE pair. Values may not be empty.

This option allows you to override the default network
99

specific interface but instead use default avahi-server
107
<term><literal>address</literal></term>
110
This option allows you to override the default network
111
address. By default mandos will not bind to any
112
specific address but instead use default avahi-server
119
<term><literal>port</literal></term>
122
This option allows you to override the default port to
123
listen on. By default mandos will not specify any specific
124

<term><literal>debug</literal></term>
134
This option allows you to modify debug mode with a true/false

<term><literal>priority</literal></term>
144
This option allows you to override the default gnutls
145
priority that will be used in gnutls session. See
146
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gnutls_priority_init
147
</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>for
148
more information on gnutls priority strings.

<term><literal>servicename</literal></term>
157
This option allows you to override the default Zeroconf
158
service name use to announce mandos as a avahi service. By
