    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>

      The file &CONFPATH; is a simple configuration file for

      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>mandos</refentrytitle>

      <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, and is read by it at

      startup.  The configuration file starts with <quote><literal

      >[DEFAULT]</literal></quote> on a line by itself, followed by

      any number of <quote><varname><replaceable>option</replaceable

      ></varname>=<replaceable>value</replaceable></quote> entries,

      with continuations in the style of RFC 822.  <quote><varname

      ><replaceable>option</replaceable></varname>: <replaceable

      >value</replaceable></quote> is also accepted.  Note that

      leading whitespace is removed from values.  Lines beginning with

      <quote>#</quote> or <quote>;</quote> are ignored and may be used

      to provide comments.
