596
        If a client is compromised, its downtime should be duly noted
 
597
        by the server which would therefore disable the client.  But
 
598
        if the server was ever restarted, it would re-read its client
 
599
        list from its configuration file and again regard all clients
 
600
        therein as enabled, and hence eligible to receive their
 
601
        passwords.  Therefore, be careful when restarting servers if
 
602
        it is suspected that a client has, in fact, been compromised
 
603
        by parties who may now be running a fake Mandos client with
 
604
        the keys from the non-encrypted initial <acronym>RAM</acronym>
 
605
        image of the client host.  What should be done in that case
 
606
        (if restarting the server program really is necessary) is to
 
607
        stop the server program, edit the configuration file to omit
 
608
        any suspect clients, and restart the server program.
