      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.

            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

            minutes, and six seconds.  Some values can be omitted, see
354
 
            RFC 3339 Appendix A for details.
 
333
            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
 
334
            space-separated number of values, each of which is a
 
335
            number and a one-character suffix.  The suffix must be one
 
336
            of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
 
337
            <quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
 
338
            minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively.  The values are
 
339
            added together to give the total time value, so all of
 
340
            <quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
 
341
            <quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
