209
Extended timeout is an added timeout that is given once
210
after a password has been sent successfully to a client.
211
The timeout is by default longer than the normal timeout,
212
and is used for handling the extra long downtime while a
213
machine is booting up. Time to take into consideration
214
when changing this value is file system checks and quota
215
checks. The default value is 15 minutes.

The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
301
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
302
until a client is disabled and not allowed to get the data
303
this server holds. By default Mandos will use 1 hour.
306
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
307
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
308
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
309
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
310
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
311
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are
312
added together to give the total time value, so all of
313
<quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
314
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
315
<quote><literal>5m 30s</literal></quote> will give a value
316
of five minutes and thirty seconds.
342
The timeout is how long the server will wait, after a
343
successful checker run, until a client is disabled and not
344
allowed to get the data this server holds. By default
345
Mandos will use 5 minutes. See also the
346
<option>extended_timeout</option> option.
349
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC
350
3339 duration; for example
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.
