The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use
66
the service. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even
67
if a client was declared invalid in a previous run of the
69
the service. All clients listed will be regarded as enabled,
70
even if a client was disabled in a previous run of the server.

The format starts with a <literal>[<replaceable>section
104
<term><option>timeout<literal> = </literal><replaceable
105
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
108
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
111
The timeout is how long the server will wait for a
112
successful checker run until a client is considered
113
invalid - that is, ineligible to get the data this server
114
holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
117
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
118
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
119
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
120
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
121
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
122
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are
123
added together to give the total time value, so all of
124
<quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
125
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
126
<quote><literal>5m 30s</literal></quote> will give a value
127
of five minutes and thirty seconds.

137
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
140
How often to run the checker to confirm that a client is
141
still up. <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> a new checker will
142
not be started if an old one is still running. The server
143
will wait for a checker to complete until the above
144
<quote><varname>timeout</varname></quote> occurs, at which
145
time the client will be marked invalid, and any running
146
checker killed. The default interval is 5 minutes.
149
The format of <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is the same

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
113
How long to wait for external approval before resorting to

115
default is <quote>0s</quote>, i.e. not to wait.

150
Whether to approve a client by default after
151
the <option>approval_delay</option>. The default
152
is <quote>True</quote>.
186
<term><option>extended_timeout<literal> = </literal><replaceable
187
>TIME</replaceable></option></term>
190
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
193
Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
194
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
195
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
196
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
197
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
198
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
199
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.

non-standard value without <quote>%%(host)s</quote> in it.

The timeout is how long the server will wait, after a
327
successful checker run, until a client is disabled and not
328
allowed to get the data this server holds. By default
329
Mandos will use 5 minutes. See also the

<option>extended_timeout</option> option.
333
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
334
space-separated number of values, each of which is a

337
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,

minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are

<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
