* Installing the Mandos server
65
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos server, run the following
66
command: "sudo make install-server".
68
(This creates a configuration without any clients configured; we
69
need an actually configured client to do that; see below.)
71
* Installing the Mandos client.
75
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
76
command: "sudo make install-client". This will also create an
77
OpenPGP key, which will take some time and entropy, so either
78
wait patiently or frob your mouse until it's done.
80
3. Run "mandos-keygen --password". When prompted, enter the
81
password/passphrase for the encrypted root file system on this
82
client computer. It will output a section of text, starting with
83
a [section header]. Copy and paste this into the file
84
"/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the server computer*.
86
4. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
87
"invoke-rc.d mandos start".
89
* Further customizations
91
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
92
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).
93
Is IPsec is not used, it is suggested that a more cryptographically
94
secure checker program is used and configured, since without IPsec
95
ping packets can be faked.
