The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use

runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.

This option overrides the default shell command that the

This option allows you to override the default shell
163
command that the server will use to check if the client is
164
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
165
the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command

183
169

187
<command>mandos-keygen</command>, when generating output
188

189
server on the Mandos client, and, if it finds one, outputs
190
a <option>checker</option> option to check for the

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
210
Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
211
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
212
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
213
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
214
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
215
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
216
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.
219
The format of <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is the same
220

The timeout is how long the server will wait, after a
360
successful checker run, until a client is disabled and not
361
allowed to get the data this server holds. By default
362
Mandos will use 5 minutes. See also the
363
<option>extended_timeout</option> option.
366
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC
367
3339 duration; for example
368
<quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning
369
one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
370
minutes, and six seconds. Some values can be omitted, see
371
RFC 3339 Appendix A for details.

The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
301
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
302
until a client is disabled and not allowed to get the data
303
this server holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
306
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
307
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
308
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
309
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
310
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
311
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are
312
added together to give the total time value, so all of
313
<quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
314
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
315
<quote><literal>5m 30s</literal></quote> will give a value
316
of five minutes and thirty seconds.
