<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
84
The file &CONFPATH; is a simple configuration file for
85
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>mandos</refentrytitle>
86
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, and is read by it at
87
startup. The configuration file starts with <quote><literal
88
>[DEFAULT]</literal></quote> on a line by itself, followed by
89
any number of <quote><varname><replaceable>option</replaceable
90
></varname>=<replaceable>value</replaceable></quote> entries,
91
with continuations in the style of RFC 822. <quote><varname
92
><replaceable>option</replaceable></varname>: <replaceable
93
>value</replaceable></quote> is also accepted. Note that
94
leading whitespace is removed from values. Lines beginning with
95
<quote>#</quote> or <quote>;</quote> are ignored and may be used

The file &CONFPATH; is a simple configuration file for mandos
84
and is looked on at startup of the service. The configuration
85
file must start with <literal>[server]</literal>. The format for
86
the rest is a simple VAR = VALUE pair. Values may not be empty.

This option allows you to override the default network
99
interfaces. By default mandos will not bind to any
100
specific interface but instead use default avahi-server
107
<term><literal>address</literal></term>
110
This option allows you to override the default network
111
address. By default mandos will not bind to any
112
specific address but instead use default avahi-server
119
<term><literal>port</literal></term>
122
This option allows you to override the default port to
123
listen on. By default mandos will not specify any specific
124
port and instead use a random port given by the OS from
125
the use of INADDR_ANY.
131
<term><literal>debug</literal></term>
134
This option allows you to modify debug mode with a true/false
135
boolean value. By default is debug set to <literal>false</literal>.
141
<term><literal>priority</literal></term>
144
This option allows you to override the default gnutls
145
priority that will be used in gnutls session. See
146
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gnutls_priority_init
147
</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>for
148
more information on gnutls priority strings.
154
<term><literal>servicename</literal></term>
157
This option allows you to override the default Zeroconf
158
service name use to announce mandos as a avahi service. By
159
default mandos will use "Mandos".
