This option is only used if <option>secret</option> is not

<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
239
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret

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

<emphasis>recommended</emphasis> unless the
259
<option>checker</option> option is modified to a
260
non-standard value without <quote>%(host)s</quote> in it.
240
If this option is not specified, the <option

<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

present, if <option>secret</option> is not specified.
