The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a

successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
113
until a client is considered invalid - that is, ineligible
114
to get the data this server holds. By default Mandos will

The timeout is how long the server will wait for a

successful checker run until a client is considered
132
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
133

>BASE64_ENCODED_DATA</replaceable>
210
222
If present, this option must be set to a string of
211
223
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent

236
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to

235
This option is only used if <option>secret</option> is not
236
specified, in which case this option is
237
<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
240
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
241
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
242
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
243
will be sent to clients verbatim.

>STRING</replaceable></option></term>
258
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly
259
<emphasis>recommended</emphasis> unless the
260
<option>checker</option> option is modified to a
261
non-standard value without <quote>%%(host)s</quote> in it.
240
If this option is not specified, the <option
241
>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them

<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.

250
<synopsis><literal>secfile = </literal><replaceable

254
The same as <option>secret</option>, but the secret data
255
is in an external file. The contents of the file should
256
<emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but will be
257
sent to clients verbatim.
260
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
261
present, if <option>secret</option> is not specified.

274
directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
318
327
percent characters in a row (<quote>%%%%</quote>) must be
319
328
entered. Also, a bad format here will lead to an immediate
320
329
but <emphasis>silent</emphasis> run-time fatal exit; debug
321
mode is needed to expose an error of this kind.
330
