107
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.

The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
111
107
successful checker run until a client is considered
112
108
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server

136
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
139
132
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

152
This option allows you to override the default shell
163
153
command that the server will use to check if the client is

still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only

This option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>.
190
177
This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies
191
178
the public key that clients authenticate themselves with
192
179
through TLS. The string needs to be in hexidecimal form,

203
If this option is not specified, the <option
204
>secfile</option> option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>
208
190
If present, this option must be set to a string of
209
191
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
210
192
to the client matching the above
222
204
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

<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.

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.
226
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
227
present, if <option>secret</option> is not specified.

non-standard value without <quote>%(host)s</quote> in it.
257
237
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
258
238
directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
259
239
checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.
