<term><option>timeout<literal> = </literal><replaceable
104
125
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
107
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
110
128
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
111
129
successful checker run until a client is considered
112
130
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
132

133
151
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
136
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
139
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

171
>COMMAND</replaceable></option></term>
159
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
162
174
This option allows you to override the default shell
163
175
command that the server will use to check if the client is
164
176
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
184

><replaceable>HEXSTRING</replaceable></option></term>
187
This option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>.
190
199
This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies
191
200
the public key that clients authenticate themselves with
192
201
through TLS. The string needs to be in hexidecimal form,
200
209
>BASE64_ENCODED_DATA</replaceable></option></term>
203
If this option is not specified, the <option
204
>secfile</option> option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>
208
212
If present, this option must be set to a string of
209
213
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
210
214
to the client matching the above
222
226
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
223
227
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
230
If this option is not specified, the <option
231
>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them
232
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.

238
<term><option>secfile<literal> = </literal><replaceable
230
239
>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
242
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
239
243
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
240
244
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
241
245
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>
248
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
249
present, if <option>secret</option> is not specified.

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
259
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
263
260
directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
264
261
checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.
