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

start time expansion, see <xref linkend="expansion"/>.

Unknown options are ignored. The used options are as follows:
114
The possible options are:
103
<term><option>timeout<literal> = </literal><replaceable
104
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
120
<term><literal><varname>timeout</varname></literal></term>
107
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
110
The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
111
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
112
until a client is disabled and not allowed to get the data
113
this server holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
122
<synopsis><literal>timeout = </literal><replaceable
126
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
127
successful checker run until a client is considered
128
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
129
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
116

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

154
How often to run the checker to confirm that a client is
140
155
still up. <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a new checker will
141
156
not be started if an old one is still running. The server
142
157
will wait for a checker to complete until the above
143
158
<quote><varname>timeout</varname></quote> occurs, at which
144
time the client will be disabled, and any running checker
145

>COMMAND</replaceable>
162
176
This option allows you to override the default shell
163
177
command that the server will use to check if the client is
164
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
165
the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command
166
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
167
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
168
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
169
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
170
value for the checker command is <quote><literal
171
><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
172
>--</option> %%(host)s</literal></quote>.
178
still up. The output of the command will be ignored, only
179
the exit code is checked. The command will be run using
180
<quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
181
<option>-c</option></command></quote>. The default
182
command is <quote><literal><command>fping</command>
183
<option>-q</option> <option>--</option>
184
%(host)s</literal></quote>.
175
187
In addition to normal start time expansion, this option
199
<term><option>secret<literal> = </literal><replaceable
200
>BASE64_ENCODED_DATA</replaceable></option></term>
210
<term><literal>secret</literal></term>
203
If this option is not specified, the <option
204
>secfile</option> option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>
212
<synopsis><literal>secret = </literal><replaceable
213
>BASE64_ENCODED_DATA</replaceable>
208
216
If present, this option must be set to a string of
209
217
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
210
218
to the client matching the above
211
219
<option>fingerprint</option>. This should, of course, be
212
220
OpenPGP encrypted data, decryptable only by the client.
213
The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command
214
>mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum
215
>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can, using its
216
<option>--password</option> option, be used to generate
220
Note: this value of this option will probably be very
221
long. A useful feature to avoid having unreadably-long
222
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
223
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
229
<term><option>secfile<literal> = </literal><replaceable
230
>FILENAME</replaceable></option></term>
233
This option is only used if <option>secret</option> is not
234
specified, in which case this option is
235
<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
238
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
239
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
240
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
241
will be sent to clients verbatim.
244
File names of the form <filename>~user/foo/bar</filename>
245
and <filename>$<envar>ENVVAR</envar>/foo/bar</filename>
252
<term><option><literal>host = </literal><replaceable
253
>STRING</replaceable></option></term>
256
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly
257
<emphasis>recommended</emphasis> unless the
258
<option>checker</option> option is modified to a
259
non-standard value without <quote>%%(host)s</quote> in it.
262
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
263
directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
264
checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.

<!-- >mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum -->

227
Note: this value of this option will probably run over
228
many lines, and will then have to use the fact that a line
229
beginning with white space adds to the value of the
230
previous line, RFC 822-style.
