The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
86
the service. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even
87
if a client was declared invalid in a previous run of the
66
the service. All clients listed will be regarded as enabled,
67
even if a client was disabled in a previous run of the server.

The format starts with a <literal>[<replaceable>section
115
94
start time expansion, see <xref linkend="expansion"/>.

130
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
131
successful checker run until a client is considered
132
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
133
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
107
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
110
The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
111
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
112
until a client is disabled and not allowed to get the data
113
this server holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.

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

How often to run the checker to confirm that a client is

140
still up. <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a new checker will
160
141
not be started if an old one is still running. The server
161
142
will wait for a checker to complete until the above
162

<quote><varname>timeout</varname></quote> occurs, at which
163
time the client will be marked invalid, and any running
164
checker killed. The default interval is 5 minutes.

This option allows you to override the default shell
181

187
This option is <emphasis>required</emphasis>.

This option sets the OpenPGP fingerprint that identifies

If present, this option must be set to a string of

lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
237
223
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
240
If this option is not specified, the <option

<synopsis><literal>secfile = </literal><replaceable

254
The same as <option>secret</option>, but the secret data
255
is in an external file. The contents of the file should
256
<emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but will be
257
sent to clients verbatim.
260
This option is only used, and <emphasis>must</emphasis> be

238
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly

<option>checker</option> option is modified to a

non-standard value without <quote>%%(host)s</quote> in it.

317
entered. Also, a bad format here will lead to an immediate
329
