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
14
systems, and are not written with portabillity to other Unixes in

* Installing the Mandos server
108
98
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
111
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
112
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
113
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
114
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
101
4. Configure the client to use the correct network interface. The
102
default is "eth0", and if this needs to be adjusted, it will be
103
necessary to edit /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf to uncomment and
104
change the line there. If that file is changed, the initrd.img
115
105
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
117
107
# update-initramfs -k all -u
119
109
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
120
110
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
121
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
111
For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start
123
113
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
124
114
will be received by the client by running the command:
126
116
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
127
117
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
128
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt \
129
--tls-privkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-privkey.pem \
130
--tls-pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-pubkey.pem; echo
118
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
132
120
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
133
121
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
135
123
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
136
124
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
137
take more than five minutes to reboot.
125
take more than an hour to reboot.
139
127
* Further customizations
141
129
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
142
130
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).
143
If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
144
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
145
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
