Viewing changes to debian/mandos-client.docs
Four new interrelated features:
1. Support using a different network interface via both initramfs.conf
(the DEVICE setting) and the kernel command line (sixth field of
the "ip=" option as in Linux' Documentation/nfsroot.txt).
2. Support connecting to a specified Mandos server directly using a
kernel command line option ("mandos=connect:<ADDRESS>:<PORT>").
3. Support connecting directly to an IPv4 address (and port) using the
"--connect" option of mandos-client.
4. Support an empty string to the --interface option to mandos-client.
* Makefile (WARN): Increase strictness by changing to
"-Wstrict-aliasing=1".
* debian/mandos-client.README.Debian (Use the Correct Network
Interface): Changed to refer to initramfs.conf and nfsroot.txt.
(Test the Server): Improve wording.
(Non-local Connection): New section.
* initramfs-tools-script: Obey DEVICE environment variable and setting
from "/conf/initramfs.conf". Also let any
"ip=" kernel command line option override
it. Support new "mandos=connect" option.
Call "configure_networking" to set up IP
address on interface if necessary.
* plugin-runner.conf: Change example.
* plugins.d/mandos-client.c: Some whitespace and comment changes.
(start_mandos_communication): Take an additional argument for
address family, all callers changed.
Connect to an IPv4 address if address
family is AF_INET. Only set IPv6
scope_id for link-local addresses.
(main): Accept empty interface name; this will not bring up any
interface and leave the interface as unspecified. Also do
not restore kernel log level if lowering it failed.
* plugins.d/mandos-client.xml (OPTIONS): Document that the
"--interface" option accepts
an empty string.
(EXAMPLE): Change example IPv6 address to a link-local address.
