The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
112
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
113
until a client is considered invalid - that is, ineligible
114
to get the data this server holds. By default Mandos will
115
use 1 hour.

122
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,

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
210
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
211
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
212
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
213
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
214
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
215
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.
