107
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
110
The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
111
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
112
until a client is disabled and not allowed to get the data
113
this server holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
106
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
107
successful checker run until a client is considered
108
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
109
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
116

The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a

How often to run the checker to confirm that a client is
140
133
still up. <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a new checker will
141
134
not be started if an old one is still running. The server
142
135
will wait for a checker to complete until the above
143

<quote><varname>timeout</varname></quote> occurs, at which
144
time the client will be disabled, and any running checker
145
killed. The default interval is 5 minutes.

This option allows you to override the default shell
163
153
command that the server will use to check if the client is
164
154
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
169
159
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
170
160
value for the checker command is <quote><literal

This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies
191
178
the public key that clients authenticate themselves with
192

If this option is not specified, the <option
204
>secfile</option> option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>
208

If present, this option must be set to a string of
209
191
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
210

to the client matching the above
222

lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
223
205
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
208
If this option is not specified, the <option

210
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.

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
220
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
239
221
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
240
222
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
241
223
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>
226
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be

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.

Host name for this client. This is not used by the server

directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the

checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.
