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

the service. The settings in this file can be overridden by
74
runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.

(See the section called <quote>PERSISTENT STATE</quote> in

174
This option overrides the default shell command that the
175
server will use to check if the client is still up. Any
176
output of the command will be ignored, only the exit code

162
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
166
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
167
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
180
168
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
181
169
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
182
170
value for the checker command is <quote><literal
183
171
><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
184
>--</option> %%(host)s</literal></quote>. Note that
185
<command>mandos-keygen</command>, when generating output
186
to be inserted into this file, normally looks for an SSH
187
server on the Mandos client, and, if it find one, outputs
188
a <option>checker</option> option to check for the
189
client’s key fingerprint – this is more secure against
172
>--</option> %%(host)s</literal></quote>.

In addition to normal start time expansion, this option

<term><option>extended_timeout<literal> = </literal><replaceable

205
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
208
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.
217
The format of <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is the same
218
as for <varname>timeout</varname> below.

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
341
The timeout is how long the server will wait, after a
342
successful checker run, until a client is disabled and not
343
allowed to get the data this server holds. By default
344
Mandos will use 5 minutes. See also the
345
<option>extended_timeout</option> option.
348
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC
349
3339 duration; for example
350
<quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning
351
one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
352
minutes, and six seconds. Some values can be omitted, see
353
RFC 3339 Appendix A for details.

Whether this client should be enabled by default. The
367
default is <quote>true</quote>.
300
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.
407
356
<quote><literal>%%(<replaceable>foo</replaceable>)s</literal
408

409
358
<varname>foo</varname> of the internal
410
<quote><classname>Client</classname></quote> object in the
411
Mandos server. The currently allowed values for
412
<replaceable>foo</replaceable> are:
