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
14
systems, and are not written with portabillity to other Unixes in

that it might work with older versions of some of these, but these

* Installing the Mandos server
80
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos server, run the following
82
For Debian: su -c 'make install-server'
83
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-server
85
(This creates a configuration without any clients configured; you
86
need an actually configured client to do that; see below.)
88
* Installing the Mandos client.
92
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
94
For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
95
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client
97
This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
98
and entropy, so be patient.
100
3. Run the following command:
101
For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
102
For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
104
When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
105
root file system on this client computer. The command will
106
output a section of text, starting with a [section header]. Copy
107
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
110
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
111
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
112
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
113
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
114
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
116
# update-initramfs -k all -u
118
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
119
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
120
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
122
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
123
will be received by the client by running the command:
125
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
126
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
127
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
129
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
130
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
132
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
133
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
134
take more than five minutes to reboot.
136
* Further customizations
138
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
139
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).
140
If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
141
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
142
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
