* [#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

* password-request

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

*** 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 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
