domain name, though it need not actually be hierarchical; thus,
a string like "<TT

The <B

>.
While the configuration parser will accept any string as the argument
to algorithm, currently only the string "<TT
CLASS="userinput"

has any meaning. The secret is a base-64 encoded string, typically
generated with either <B

>.</P

The argument to the <B

>server</B

host name or address (addresses must be double quoted). The argument
to the key clause is the name of the key as defined by the <B
CLASS="command"
>key</B

A <B
