The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
110
successful checker run until a client is considered
111
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
112
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.

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

119
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
120
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are

<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and

This option overrides the default shell command that the

This option allows you to override the default shell

server on the Mandos client, and, if it find one, outputs

a <option>checker</option> option to check for the

Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
205
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
206
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
207
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
208
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
209
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
210
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.
