This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.

The timeout is how long the server will wait (for either a
112
successful checker run or a client receiving its secret)
113
until a client is considered invalid - that is, ineligible
114
to get the data this server holds. By default Mandos will

The timeout is how long the server will wait for a

129

The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a

This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>.
172
<synopsis><literal>checker = </literal><replaceable
173
>COMMAND</replaceable>
164
176
This option allows you to override the default shell
165
177
command that the server will use to check if the client is
166
still up. Any output of the command will be ignored, only
167
the exit code is checked: If the exit code of the command
168
is zero, the client is considered up. The command will be
169
run using <quote><command><filename>/bin/sh</filename>
170
<option>-c</option></command></quote>, so
171
<varname>PATH</varname> will be searched. The default
172
value for the checker command is <quote><literal
173
><command>fping</command> <option>-q</option> <option
174
>--</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>

212
<synopsis><literal>secret = </literal><replaceable
213
>BASE64_ENCODED_DATA</replaceable>
210
216
If present, this option must be set to a string of
211
217
base64-encoded binary data. It will be decoded and sent
212
218
to the client matching the above
213
219
<option>fingerprint</option>. This should, of course, be
214
220
OpenPGP encrypted data, decryptable only by the client.
215
The program <citerefentry><refentrytitle><command
216
>mandos-keygen</command></refentrytitle><manvolnum
217
>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> can, using its
218
<option>--password</option> option, be used to generate
222
Note: this value of this option will probably be very
223
long. A useful feature to avoid having unreadably-long
224
lines is that a line beginning with white space adds to
225
the value of the previous line, RFC 822-style.
231
<term><option>secfile<literal> = </literal><replaceable
232
>FILENAME</replaceable></option></term>
235
This option is only used if <option>secret</option> is not
236
specified, in which case this option is
237
<emphasis>required</emphasis>.
240
Similar to the <option>secret</option>, except the secret
241
data is in an external file. The contents of the file
242
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be base64-encoded, but
243
will be sent to clients verbatim.
246
File names of the form <filename>~user/foo/bar</filename>
247
and <filename>$<envar>ENVVAR</envar>/foo/bar</filename>
254
<term><option><literal>host = </literal><replaceable
255
>STRING</replaceable></option></term>
258
This option is <emphasis>optional</emphasis>, but highly
259
<emphasis>recommended</emphasis> unless the
260
<option>checker</option> option is modified to a
261
non-standard value without <quote>%%(host)s</quote> in it.
264
Host name for this client. This is not used by the server
265
directly, but can be, and is by default, used by the
266
checker. See the <option>checker</option> option.

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.
