  This is part of the Mandos system for allowing computers to have
6

  encrypted root file systems and at the same time be capable of
7
7
  remote and/or unattended reboots.  The computers run a small client
8
 
  program in the initial RAM disk environment which will communicate
9
 
  with a server over a network.  The clients are identified by the
10
 
  server using a OpenPGP key; each client has one unique to it.  The
11
 
  server sends the clients an encrypted password.  The encrypted
12
 
  password is decrypted by the clients using the same OpenPGP key, and
13
 
  the password is then used to unlock the root file system, whereupon
14
 
  the computers can continue booting normally.
