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

The possible options are:

176
This option allows you to override the default shell
183
177
command that the server will use to check if the client is
184
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
185
the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command
186
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
187
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
188
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
189
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
190
value for the checker command is <quote><literal
191
><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
192
>--</option> %(host)s</literal></quote>.
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>.
195
187
In addition to normal start time expansion, this option
226
218
to the client matching the above
227
219
<option>fingerprint</option>. This should, of course, be
228
220
OpenPGP encrypted data, decryptable only by the client.
229
The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command
230
>mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum
231
>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can, using its
232
<option>--password</option> option, be used to generate
236
Note: this value of this option will probably be very
237
long. A useful feature to avoid having unreadably-long
238
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
239
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
242
If this option is not specified, the <option
243
>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them
244
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.

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.
