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,

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

Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
210
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
211
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
212
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
213
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
214
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
215
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.
