The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
112
successful checker run until a client is considered
113
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
114
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.

This option overrides the default shell command that the

This option allows you to override the default shell

server on the Mandos client, and, if it find one, outputs

a <option>checker</option> option to check for the

Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
209
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
210
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
211
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
212
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
213
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
214
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.
