      The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
74
 
      the service.  The settings in this file can be overridden by
75
 
      runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.

            This option overrides the default shell command that the

            output of the command will be ignored, only the exit code

            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC

351
 
            <quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning
352
 
            one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
353
 
            minutes, and six seconds.  Some values can be omitted, see
354
 
            RFC 3339 Appendix A for details.
 
332
            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
 
333
            space-separated number of values, each of which is a
 
334
            number and a one-character suffix.  The suffix must be one
 
335
            of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
 
336
            <quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
 
337
            minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively.  The values are
 
338
            added together to give the total time value, so all of
 
339
            <quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
 
340
            <quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
