The file &CONFPATH; is the configuration file for <citerefentry

The file &CONFPATH; is a configuration file for <citerefentry

><refentrytitle>mandos</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, read by it at startup,

where each client that will be able to use the service needs to

be listed. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even

<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, read by it at startup.

The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use

the service. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even

if a client was declared invalid in a previous run of the

server.

The possible options are:

116

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

117

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

118

</para>

119

<para>

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

This option allows you to override the default shell

177

183

command that the server will use to check if the client is

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

181

<option>-c</option></command></quote>. The default

182

command is <quote><literal><command>fping</command>

183

184

%(host)s</literal></quote>.

184

still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only

185

the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command

186

is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be

187

run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>

188

<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so

189

<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default

190

value for the checker command is <quote><literal

191

><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option

192

>--</option> %(host)s</literal></quote>.

187

195

In addition to normal start time expansion, this option

218

226

to the client matching the above

219

227

<option>fingerprint</option>. This should, of course, be

220

228

OpenPGP encrypted data, decryptable only by the client.

221

222

223

224

225

</para>

226

<para>

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.

229

The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command

230

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

231

>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can, using its

232

<option>--password</option> option, be used to generate

233

this, if desired.

234

</para>

235

<para>

236

Note: this value of this option will probably be very

237

long. A useful feature to avoid having unreadably-long

238

lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to

239

the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.

240

</para>

241

If this option is not specified, the <option

243

>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them

244

<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.
