The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use

the service. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even

be listed. All clients listed will be regarded as valid, even

Uknown options are ignored. The used options are as follows:

The possible options are:

176
This option allows you to override the default shell
181
177
command that the server will use to check if the client is
182
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
183
the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command
184
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
185
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
186
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
187
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
188
value for the checker command is <quote><literal
189
><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
190
>--</option> %(host)s</literal></quote>.
178
still up. The output of the command will be ignored, only
179
the exit code is checked. The command will be run using
180
<quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
181
<option>-c</option></command></quote>. The default
182
command is <quote><literal><command>fping</command>
183
<option>-q</option> <option>--</option>
184
%(host)s</literal></quote>.

187
In addition to normal start time expansion, this option
224
218
to the client matching the above
225
219
<option>fingerprint</option>. This should, of course, be
226
220
OpenPGP encrypted data, decryptable only by the client.
227
The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command
228
>mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum
229
>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can, using its
230
<option>--password</option> option, be used to generate
234
Note: this value of this option will probably be very
235
long. A useful feature to avoid having unreadably-long
236
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
237
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
240
If this option is not specified, the <option
241
>secfile</option> option is used instead, but one of them
242
<emphasis>must</emphasis> be present.

227
Note: this value of this option will probably run over
228
many lines, and will then have to use the fact that a line
229
beginning with white space adds to the value of the
230
previous line, RFC 822-style.
