<emphasis>Note:</emphasis> all option values are subject to

Unknown options are ignored. The used options are as follows:

The possible options are:
104
<term><option>timeout<literal> = </literal><replaceable
105
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
116
<term><literal><varname>timeout</varname></literal></term>
108
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
118
<synopsis><literal>timeout = </literal><replaceable
111
122
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
112
123
successful checker run until a client is considered
150
160
as for <varname>timeout</varname> above.
156
<term><option>checker<literal> = </literal><replaceable

>COMMAND</replaceable></option></term>
166
<term><literal>checker</literal></term>
160
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
163
169
This option allows you to override the default shell
164
command that the server will use to check if the client is
165
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
166
the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command
167
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
168
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
169
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
170
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
171
value for the checker command is <quote><literal
172
><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
173
>--</option> %%(host)s</literal></quote>.
176
In addition to normal start time expansion, this option
177
will also be subject to runtime expansion; see <xref
178
linkend="expansion"/>.
184
<term><option>fingerprint<literal> = </literal
185
><replaceable>HEXSTRING</replaceable></option></term>
188
This option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>.
191
This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies
192
the public key that clients authenticate themselves with
193
through TLS. The string needs to be in hexidecimal form,
194
but spaces or upper/lower case are not significant.
200
<term><option>secret<literal> = </literal><replaceable
201
>BASE64_ENCODED_DATA</replaceable></option></term>
204
If this option is not specified, the <option
205
>secfile</option> option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>
209
If present, this option must be set to a string of
210
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
211
to the client matching the above
212
<option>fingerprint</option>. This should, of course, be
213
OpenPGP encrypted data, decryptable only by the client.
214
The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command
215
>mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum
216
>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can, using its
217
<option>--password</option> option, be used to generate
221
Note: this value of this option will probably be very
222
long. A useful feature to avoid having unreadably-long
223
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
224
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
230
<term><option>secfile<literal> = </literal><replaceable
231
>FILENAME</replaceable></option></term>
234
This option is only used if <option>secret</option> is not
235
specified, in which case this option is
236
<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
239
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
240
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
241
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
242
will be sent to clients verbatim.

File names of the form <filename>~user/foo/bar</filename>

and <filename>$<envar>ENVVAR</envar>/foo/bar</filename>
253

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly

non-standard value without <quote>%(host)s</quote> in it.
