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.
116
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
117
space-separated number of values, each of which is a

119

120
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
121
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are

124
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and

Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
193
after a password has been sent sucessfully to a client.
194
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
195
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
196
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
197
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
198
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.
