106
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
109

The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
110
129
successful checker run until a client is considered
111
130
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server

135
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
138
154
How often to run the checker to confirm that a client is
139
155
still up. <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a new checker will
140
156
not be started if an old one is still running. The server

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
161
174
This option allows you to override the default shell
162
175
command that the server will use to check if the client is

This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies
190
200
the public key that clients authenticate themselves with
191
201
through TLS. The string needs to be in hexidecimal form,

202
If this option is not specified, the <option
203
>secfile</option> option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>
207
212
If present, this option must be set to a string of
208
213
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
209
214
to the client matching the above
221
226
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
222
227
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
230
If this option is not specified, the <option
231

232
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.

specified, in which case this option is
234
<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
237
242
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
238
243
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
239
244
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
240
245
will be sent to clients verbatim.
248
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
249
present, if <option>secret</option> is not specified.

non-standard value without <quote>%(host)s</quote> in it.
256
259
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
257
260
directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
258
261
checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.
