102
<term><option>timeout<literal> = </literal><replaceable
105
103
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
108
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
111
106
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
112
107
successful checker run until a client is considered
113
108
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
133
128
<term><option>interval<literal> = </literal><replaceable
134
129
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
137
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
140
132
How often to run the checker to confirm that a client is
141
133
still up. <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a new checker will
142
134
not be started if an old one is still running. The server

>COMMAND</replaceable></option></term>
160
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
163
152
This option allows you to override the default shell
164
153
command that the server will use to check if the client is
165
154
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
170
159
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
171
160
value for the checker command is <quote><literal
172
161
><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
173
>--</option> %%(host)s</literal></quote>.
162
>--</option> %(host)s</literal></quote>.

In addition to normal start time expansion, this option
185
174
><replaceable>HEXSTRING</replaceable></option></term>
188
This option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>.
191
177
This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies
192
178
the public key that clients authenticate themselves with
193
179
through TLS. The string needs to be in hexidecimal form,
201
187
>BASE64_ENCODED_DATA</replaceable></option></term>
204
If this option is not specified, the <option
205
>secfile</option> option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>
209
190
If present, this option must be set to a string of
210
191
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
211
192
to the client matching the above
223
204
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
224
205
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
208
If this option is not specified, the <option
209
>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them
210
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.
230
216
<term><option>secfile<literal> = </literal><replaceable
231
217
>FILENAME</replaceable></option></term>
234
This option is only used if <option>secret</option> is not
235
specified, in which case this option is
236
<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
239
220
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
240
221
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
241
222
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
242
223
will be sent to clients verbatim.
245
File names of the form <filename>~user/foo/bar</filename>
246
and <filename>$<envar>ENVVAR</envar>/foo/bar</filename>
226
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
227
present, if <option>secret</option> is not specified.
253
233
<term><option><literal>host = </literal><replaceable
254
234
>STRING</replaceable></option></term>
257
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly
258
<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.
263
237
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
264
238
directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
265
239
checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.
