Check *before* the "600" (*between* the default-lease-time and 600).

When it comes to strange complaints about a line that looks perfectly
fine, I sometimes delete the whole line and type it again.  It wouldn't
be the first time that I'd accidentally caught a key while typing, and
not typed a blank space, but something else that looks the same.

If it were something other than numbers, I might have tried putting
quotes around it.  But I don't think that's the case, here.
