This file is used by both mandos(8) and mandos.conf(5), since these
7
options can be used both on the command line and in the config file.

It is also used for some texts by mandos-client(8mandos).

If this is specified, the server will only announce the service
17
and listen to requests on the specified network interface.

Default is to use all available interfaces. <emphasis

>Note:</emphasis> a failure to bind to the specified
20
interface is not considered critical, and the server will not

exit, but instead continue normally.
25
If this option is used, the server will only listen to the
26
specified IPv6 address. If a link-local address is specified, an
27
interface should be set, since a link-local address is only valid
28
on a single interface. By default, the server will listen to all
29
available addresses. If set, this must normally be an IPv6
30
address; an IPv4 address can only be specified using IPv4-mapped
31
IPv6 address syntax: <quote><systemitem class="ipaddress"
32
>::FFFF:192.0.2.3</systemitem ></quote>. (Only if IPv6 usage is
33
<emphasis>disabled</emphasis> (see below) must this be an IPv4

If this option is used, the server will bind to that port. By
39
default, the server will listen to an arbitrary port given by the

If the server is run in debug mode, it will run in the foreground
