This is mostly for the support scripts which make sure that the

4. Configure the client to use the correct network interface. The
101
default is "eth0", and if this needs to be adjusted, it will be
102
necessary to edit /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf to uncomment and
103
change the line there. If that file is changed, the initrd.img
104
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
106
interface to use is automatically chosen at boot, and if this
107
needs to be adjusted, it will be necessary to edit
108
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to change the DEVICE setting
109
there. Alternatively, the file /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf
110
can be edited to add a "--device" parameter for the
111
mandos-client(8) plugin. Please note: If any of those files are
112
changed, the initrd.img file must be updated, possibly using the

5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command

For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'

For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start
119
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start

At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password

will be received by the client by running the command:

Is IPsec is not used, it is suggested that a more cryptographically
131
secure checker program is used and configured, since without IPsec
132
ping packets can be faked.

If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that

a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
