* [#A] README file

* plugin-runner

** [#B] Add more comments to code

** [#B] Add more if(debug) calls

** [#B] Seperate more code to function for more readability

** [#A] Man page: man8/plugin-runner.8mandos

*** EXIT STATUS

*** ENVIRONMENT

    Environment is modified according to options and passed to plugins

*** EXAMPLE

    Examples of normal usage, debug usage, debugging single or all

    plugins, etc.

*** FILES

*** SECURITY

    Note the danger of using this program, since you might lock

    yourself out of your system without any means of entering the root

    file system password.  This is, however, very unlikely considering

    the fallback to getpass(3).

*** BUGS

*** SEE ALSO

    Explaining text on what you can read

* password-request

** [#A] Man page: man8/password-request.8mandos

*** SYNOPSIS

    Document short options

*** DESCRIPTION

    State that this command is not meant to be invoked directly, but

    is run as a plugin from mandos-client(8) and only run in the

    initrd environment, not the real system.

*** PURPOSE

    As in mandos.xml

*** OVERVIEW

    As in mandos.xml

*** EXIT STATUS

*** ENVIRONMENT

    Note that it does *not* currently use cryptsource or crypttarget.

*** FILES

    Describe the key files and the key ring files.  Also note that

    they should normally have been automatically created.

*** BUGS

*** EXAMPLE

    Examples of normal usage, debug usage, debugging by connecting

    directly, etc.

*** SECURITY

*** SEE ALSO

    Update from mandos.xml

** [#B] Temporarily lower kernel log level

   for less printouts during sucessfull boot.

** IPv4 support

** use strsep instead of strtok?

** Do not depend on GnuPG key rings on disk

   This would mean creating new GnuPG key rings with GPGME by

   importing the key files from scratch on every program start.

** Keydir move: /etc/mandos -> /etc/keys/mandos

   Must create in preinst if not pre-depending on cryptsetup

* password-prompt

** [#C] Use getpass(3)?

   Man page says "obsolete", but [[info:libc:getpass][GNU LibC Manual: Reading Passwords]]

   does not.  See also [[http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2003-05/msg00251.html][Marcus Brinkmann: Re: getpass obsolete?]] and

   [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.glibc.alpha/4906][Petter Reinholdtsen: Re: getpass obsolete?]], and especially also

   [[http://www.steve.org.uk/Reference/Unix/faq_4.html#SEC48][Unix Programming FAQ 3.1 How can I make my program not echo input?]]

* mandos (server)

** [#A] /etc/init.d/mandos-server		:teddy:

** [#B] Log level				:bugs:

** /etc/mandos/clients.d/*.conf

   Watch this directory and add/remove/update clients?

** config for TXT record

** [#B] Run-time communication with server	:bugs:

   Probably using D-Bus

   See also [[*Mandos-tools]]

** Implement --foreground			:bugs:

   [[info:standards:Option%20Table][Table of Long Options]]

** Implement --socket

   [[info:standards:Option%20Table][Table of Long Options]]

** Date+time on console log messages		:bugs:

   Is this the default?

* Mandos-tools/utilities

  All of this probably using D-Bus

** List clients

** Disable client

** Enable client

* Man pages

** Use xinclude for common sections

   Like copyright, authors, etc.

* Installer

** Client-side

*** Update initrd.img after installation

    This seems to use some kind of "trigger" system

    [[file:/usr/share/doc/dpkg/triggers.txt.gz]]

    dpkg-trigger(1), deb-triggers(5)

*** Keydir move: /etc/mandos -> /etc/keys/mandos

    Must create in preinst if not pre-depending on cryptsetup

*** mandos-keygen

**** "--passfile" option

     Using the "secfile" option instead of "secret"

**** [#A] "--test" option

     For testing decryption before rebooting.

** Server-side

*** [#A] Create mandos user and group for server

*** [#A] Create /var/run/mandos directory with perm and ownership

* [#A] Package

** /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mandos

*** Do not install in initrd.img if configured not to.

    Use "/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mandos"?  Definitely a debconf

    question.

** /etc/bash_completion.d/mandos

   From XML sources directly?

** unperish
