The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
111
successful checker run until a client is considered
112
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
113
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
116
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
117
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
118
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
119

120
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,

This option overrides the default shell command that the

This option allows you to override the default shell

<command>mandos-keygen</command>, when generating output

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
211
Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
212
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
213
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
214
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
215
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
216
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
217
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.

Mandos will use 5 minutes. See also the
