  <title/>

  <para id="interface">

    If this is specified, the server will only announce the service

    and listen to requests on network interface

    <replaceable>IF</replaceable>.  Default is to use all available

    interfaces.  <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a failure to bind to the

    specified interface is not considered critical, and the server

    does not exit.

  </para>

  <para id="address">

    If this option is used, the server will only listen to a specific

    address.  This must currently be an IPv6 address; an IPv4 address

    can only be specified using the <quote><systemitem

    class="ipaddress">::FFFF:192.0.2.3</systemitem></quote> format.

    Also, if a link-local address is specified, an interface should be

    set, since a link-local address is only valid on a single

    interface.  By default, the server will listen to all available

    addresses.

  </para>

  <para id="port">

    If this option is used, the server will bind to that port. By

    default, the server will listen to an arbitrary port given by the

    operating system.

  </para>

  <para id="debug">

    If the server is run in debug mode, it will run in the foreground

    and print a lot of debugging information.  The default is

    <emphasis>not</emphasis> to run in debug mode.

  </para>

  <para id="priority">

    GnuTLS priority string for the TLS handshake with the clients.

    The default is

    <quote><literal>SECURE256:!CTYPE-X.509:+CTYPE-OPENPGP</literal></quote>.

    See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gnutls_priority_init

    </refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> for the

    syntax.  <emphasis>Warning</emphasis>: changing this may make the

    TLS handshake fail, making communication with clients impossible.

  </para>

  <para id="servicename">

    Zeroconf service name.  The default is

    <quote><literal>Mandos</literal></quote>.  This only needs to be

    changed this if it, for some reason, is necessary to run more than

    one server on the same <emphasis>host</emphasis>, which would not

    normally be useful.  If there are name collisions on the same

    <emphasis>network</emphasis>, the newer server will automatically

    rename itself to <quote><literal>Mandos #2</literal></quote>, and

    so on; therefore, this option is not needed in that case.

  </para>
