* Installing the Mandos server

and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
100
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
112
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
113
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
114
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
115
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
104
116
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
106
118
# update-initramfs -k all -u
108
120
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
109
121
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
110
For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start
122
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
112
124
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
113
125
will be received by the client by running the command:
115
127
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
116
128
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
117
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
129
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt \
130
--tls-privkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-privkey.pem \
131
--tls-pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-pubkey.pem; echo
119
133
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
120
134
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
122
136
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
123
137
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
124
take more than an hour to reboot.
138
take more than five minutes to reboot.
126
140
* Further customizations
128
142
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
129
143
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).

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.
144
If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
145
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
146
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
