to get a password. In slightly more detail, this client program
140
brings up a network interface, uses the interface’s IPv6

142
find servers on the local network, and communicates with servers

146
servers using TLS with an OpenPGP key to ensure authenticity and
144
147
confidentiality. This client program keeps running, trying all
145
148
servers on the network, until it receives a satisfactory reply
146
149
or a TERM signal. After all servers have been tried, all
148
151
will wait indefinitely for new servers to appear.
151
The network interface is selected like this: If an interface is
152
specified using the <option>--interface</option> option, that
153
interface is used. Otherwise, <command>&COMMANDNAME;</command>
154
will choose any interface that is up and running and is not a

162

160
interfaces and non-broadcast interfaces are accepted.) If no
161
acceptable interfaces are found, re-run the check but without
162
the <quote>up and running</quote> requirement, and manually take
163
the selected interface up (and later take it down on program

249
Note that since this program will normally run in the
246
250
initial RAM disk environment, the interface must be an
247
251
interface which exists at that stage. Thus, the interface
248
can not be a pseudo-interface such as <quote>br0</quote>
249
or <quote>tun0</quote>; such interfaces will not exist
250
until much later in the boot process, and can not be used
251
by this program, unless created by a <quote>network
252
hook</quote> — see <xref linkend="network-hooks"/>.
