The file &CONFPATH; is a configuration file for
73
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>mandos</refentrytitle>
74
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, and is read by it at
75
startup. The configuration file starts with <quote><literal
76
>[DEFAULT]</literal></quote> on a line by itself, followed by
77
any number of <quote><varname><replaceable>option</replaceable
78
></varname>=<replaceable>value</replaceable></quote> entries,
79
with continuations in the style of RFC 822. <quote><varname
80
><replaceable>option</replaceable></varname>: <replaceable
81
>value</replaceable></quote> is also accepted. Note that
82
leading whitespace is removed from values. Lines beginning with
83
<quote>#</quote> or <quote>;</quote> are ignored and may be used
