  <para id="interface">

    If this is specified, the server will only announce the service

    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

    interface is not considered critical, and the server will not

    exit, but instead continue normally.

  </para>

  <para id="address">

    If this option is used, the server will only listen to the

    specified IPv6 address.  If a link-local address is specified, an

    interface should be set, since a link-local address is only valid

    on a single interface.  By default, the server will listen to all

    available addresses.  If set, this must be an IPv6 address; an

    IPv4 address can only be specified using IPv4-mapped IPv6 address

    syntax: <quote><systemitem class="ipaddress"

    >::FFFF:192.0.2.3</systemitem ></quote>.

  </para>

  <para id="port">

    If this option is used, the server will bind to that port. By

    default, the server will listen to an arbitrary port given by the

    operating system.

  </para>

  <para id="debug">

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

    and print a lot of debugging information.  The default is to

    <emphasis>not</emphasis> run in debug mode.

  </para>

  <para id="priority">

    GnuTLS priority string for the <acronym>TLS</acronym> handshake

    with the clients.  The default is

    <quote><literal>SECURE256:!CTYPE-X.509:+CTYPE-OPENPGP</literal

    ></quote>.  See <citerefentry>

    <refentrytitle>gnutls_priority_init</refentrytitle>

    <manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> for the syntax.

    <emphasis>Warning</emphasis>: changing this may make the

    <acronym>TLS</acronym> handshake fail, making communication with

    clients impossible.

  </para>

  <para id="servicename">

    Zeroconf service name.  The default is

    <quote><literal>Mandos</literal></quote>.  This only needs to be

    changed this if it, for some reason, is necessary to run more than

    one server on the same <emphasis>host</emphasis>, which would not

    normally be useful.  If there are name collisions on the same

    <emphasis>network</emphasis>, the newer server will automatically

    rename itself to <quote><literal>Mandos #2</literal></quote>, and

    so on; therefore, this option is not needed in that case.
