Environment is modified according to options and passed to plugins
14
Examples of normal usage, debug usage, debugging single or all
18
Note the danger of using this program, since you might lock
19
yourself out of your system without any means of entering the root
20
file system password. This is, however, very unlikely considering
21
the fallback to getpass(3).

Explaining text on what you can read
27
** [#A] Man page: man8/password-request.8mandos
29
Document short options
31
State that this command is not meant to be invoked directly, but
32
is run as a plugin from mandos-client(8) and only run in the
33
initrd environment, not the real system.
40
Note that it does *not* currently use cryptsource or crypttarget.
42
Describe the key files and the key ring files. Also note that
43
they should normally have been automatically created.
46
Examples of normal usage, debug usage, debugging by connecting
50
Update from mandos.xml
51
** [#B] Temporarily lower kernel log level
52
for less printouts during sucessfull boot.
54
** use strsep instead of strtok?
55
** Do not depend on GnuPG key rings on disk
56
This would mean creating new GnuPG key rings with GPGME by
57
importing the key files from scratch on every program start.
58
** Keydir move: /etc/mandos -> /etc/keys/mandos
59
Must create in preinst if not pre-depending on cryptsetup

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

Man page says "obsolete", but [[info:libc:getpass][GNU LibC Manual: Reading Passwords]]
64
does not. See also [[http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2003-05/msg00251.html][Marcus Brinkmann: Re: getpass obsolete?]] and

All of this probably using D-Bus
92
Go through all man pages to conform to the style of tags chosen in
93
[[http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-xml-sgml/packages/docbook-xsl/trunk/debian/examples/foo.1.example_manpage.xml?op=file&rev=0&sc=0][foo.1.example_manpage.xml]]. In particular:
94
*** Synopsis <arg> and <option> tags
95
** Use xinclude for common sections
96
Like copyright, authors, etc.
101
*** Update initrd.img after installation
102
This seems to use some kind of "trigger" system
103
[[file:/usr/share/doc/dpkg/triggers.txt.gz]]
104
dpkg-trigger(1), deb-triggers(5)
105
*** Keydir move: /etc/mandos -> /etc/keys/mandos
106
Must create in preinst if not pre-depending on cryptsetup
108
**** "--passfile" option
109
Using the "secfile" option instead of "secret"
110
**** [#A] "--test" option
111
For testing decryption before rebooting.
113
*** [#A] Create mandos user and group for server
114
*** [#A] Create /var/run/mandos directory with perm and ownership
117
** /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mandos
118
*** Do not install in initrd.img if configured not to.
119
Use "/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mandos"? Definitely a debconf
121
** /etc/bash_completion.d/mandos
122
From XML sources directly?
