<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
102
<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a mandos plugin that works
103
like a client program that through avahi detects mandos servers,
104
sets up a gnutls connect and request a encrypted password. Any
105
passwords given is automaticly decrypted and passed to
127
<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a client program that
128
communicates with <citerefentry><refentrytitle
129
>mandos</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
130
to get a password. It uses IPv6 link-local addresses to get
131
network connectivity, Zeroconf to find servers, and TLS with an
132
OpenPGP key to ensure authenticity and confidentiality. It
133
keeps running, trying all servers on the network, until it
134
receives a satisfactory reply or a TERM signal is recieved.
137
This program is not meant to be run directly; it is really meant
138
to run as a plugin of the <application>Mandos</application>
139
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>plugin-runner</refentrytitle>
140
<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>, which runs in the
141
initial <acronym>RAM</acronym> disk environment because it is
142
specified as a <quote>keyscript</quote> in the <citerefentry>
143
<refentrytitle>crypttab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
144
</citerefentry> file.

<title>OVERVIEW</title>
327
<xi:include href="../overview.xml"/>
329
This program is the client part. It is a plugin started by
330
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>plugin-runner</refentrytitle>
331
<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry> which will run in
332
an initial <acronym>RAM</acronym> disk environment.
335
This program could, theoretically, be used as a keyscript in
336
<filename>/etc/crypttab</filename>, but it would then be
337
impossible to enter a password for the encrypted root disk at
338
the console, since this program does not read from the console
339
at all. This is why a separate plugin does that, which will be
340
run in parallell to this one by the plugin runner.
226
344
<refsect1 id="exit_status">
227
345
<title>EXIT STATUS</title>
347
This program will exit with a successful (zero) exit status if a
348
server could be found and the password received from it could be
349
successfully decrypted and output on standard output. The
350
program will exit with a non-zero exit status only if a critical
351
error occurs. Otherwise, it will forever connect to new
352
<application>Mandos</application> servers as they appear, trying
353
to get a decryptable password.
