This is mostly for the support scripts which make sure that the

client is installed and started in the initial RAM disk environment
11
and that the initial RAM file system image file is automatically
12
made unreadable. The server and client programs themselves *could*
13
be run in other distributions, but they *are* specific to GNU/Linux

systems, and are not written with portabillity to other Unixes in

* Installing the Mandos server
88
65
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos server, run the following
90
For Debian: su -c 'make install-server'
91
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-server
93
(This creates a configuration without any clients configured; you
66
command: "sudo make install-server".
68
(This creates a configuration without any clients configured; we
94
69
need an actually configured client to do that; see below.)
96
71
* Installing the Mandos client.
98
73
1. Do "make all doc".
100
75
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
102
For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
103
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client
105
This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
106
and entropy, so be patient.
108
3. Run the following command:
109
For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
110
For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
112
When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
113
root file system on this client computer. The command will
114
output a section of text, starting with a [section header]. Copy
115
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
118
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
119
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
120
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
121
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
122
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
124
# update-initramfs -k all -u
126
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
127
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
128
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
130
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
131
will be received by the client by running the command:
133
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
134
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
135
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt \
136
--tls-privkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-privkey.pem \
137
--tls-pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-pubkey.pem; echo
139
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
140
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
142
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
143
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
144
take more than five minutes to reboot.
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".
146
89
* Further customizations
148
91
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
149
92
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).
150
If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
151
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
152
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
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.
