119

      <manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The Mandos server
123
 
      uses Zeroconf to announce itself on the local network, and uses
124
 
      TLS to communicate securely with and to authenticate the
125
 
      clients.  The Mandos server uses IPv6 to allow Mandos clients to
126
 
      use IPv6 link-local addresses, since the clients will probably
127
 
      not have any other addresses configured (see <xref
128
 
      linkend="overview"/>).  Any authenticated client is then given
129
 
      the stored pre-encrypted password for that specific client.

      for some time, the client is assumed to be compromised and is no

357
 
      extended timeout, checker program, and interval between checks
358
 
      can be configured both globally and per client; see
