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
103
83
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
105
For Debian: su - -c 'make install-client'
85
For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
106
86
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client
108
88
This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
109
89
and entropy, so be patient.
111
91
3. Run the following command:
112
For Debian: su - -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
92
For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
113
93
For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
115
95
When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
118
98
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
121
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
122
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
123
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
124
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
125
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
101
4. Configure the client to use the correct network interface. The
102
interface to use is automatically chosen at boot, and if this
103
needs to be adjusted, it will be necessary to edit
104
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to change the DEVICE setting
105
there. Alternatively, the file /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf
106
can be edited to add a "--device" parameter for the
107
mandos-client(8) plugin. Please note: If any of those files are
108
changed, the initrd.img file must be updated, possibly using the
127
111
# update-initramfs -k all -u
129
113
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
130
For Debian: su - -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
114
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
131
115
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
133
117
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
136
120
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
137
121
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
138
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt \
139
--tls-privkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-privkey.pem \
140
--tls-pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-pubkey.pem; echo
122
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
142
124
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
143
125
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
145
127
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
146
128
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
147
take more than five minutes to reboot.
129
take more than an hour to reboot.
149
131
* Further customizations
151
133
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
152
134
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).
153
If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
154
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
155
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
135
If IPsec is not used, it is suggested that a more cryptographically
136
secure checker program is used and configured, since without IPsec
137
ping packets can be faked.
