The possible options are:

<emphasis>Note:</emphasis> all option values are subject to
93
start time expansion, see <xref linkend="expansion"/>.

Unknown options are ignored. The used options are as follows:

106
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
126
109
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
127
110
successful checker run until a client is considered
164
148
as for <varname>timeout</varname> above.

158
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
176
161
This option allows you to override the default shell
177
162
command that the server will use to check if the client is
178
still up. The output of the command will be ignored, only
179
the exit code is checked. The command will be run using
180
<quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
181
<option>-c</option></command></quote>. The default
182
command is <quote><literal><command>fping</command>
183
<option>-q</option> <option>--</option>
184
%(host)s</literal></quote>.
163
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
164
the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command
165
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
166
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
167
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
168
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
169
value for the checker command is <quote><literal

If this option is not specified, the <option

216
207
If present, this option must be set to a string of
217
208
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
218
209
to the client matching the above
219
210
<option>fingerprint</option>. This should, of course, be
220
211
OpenPGP encrypted data, decryptable only by the client.

<!-- The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command -->
222
<!-- >mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum -->
223
<!-- >8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can be used to generate it, -->
227
Note: this value of this option will probably run over
228
many lines, and will then have to use the fact that a line
229
beginning with white space adds to the value of the
230
previous line, RFC 822-style.

<term><literal>secfile</literal></term>
239
Base 64 encoded OpenPGP encrypted password encrypted by
240

249
Host name that can be used in for checking that the client is up.

The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command

Note: this value of this option will probably be very
220
long. A useful feature to avoid having unreadably-long
221
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
222
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.

<term><option>secfile<literal> = </literal><replaceable

232
This option is only used if <option>secret</option> is not
233
specified, in which case this option is
234
<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
237
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
238
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
239
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but

will be sent to clients verbatim.

250
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly
251
<emphasis>recommended</emphasis> unless the
252
<option>checker</option> option is modified to a
253
non-standard value without <quote>%(host)s</quote> in it.
256
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
