      The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
68
 
      the service.  All clients listed will be regarded as enabled,

      even if a client was disabled in a previous run of the server.

      the service.  The settings in this file can be overridden by
 
73
      runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.

167
 
            the exit code is checked:  If the exit code of the command

327

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

            space-separated number of values, each of which is a

            <quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
336
 
            minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively.  The values are
337
 
            added together to give the total time value, so all of

342
            allowed to get the data this server holds.  By default
