The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a

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

number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one

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

added together to give the total time value, so all of

Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once

The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,

when changing this value is system file checks and quota
