fact, been compromised by parties who may now be running a
547

fake Mandos client with the keys from the non-encrypted
548
initial <acronym>RAM</acronym> image of the client host. What
549
should be done in that case (if restarting the server program
550
really is necessary) is to stop the server program, edit the
525
initial RAM image of the client host. What should be done in
526
that case (if restarting the server program really is
527
necessary) is to stop the server program, edit the
551
528
configuration file to omit any suspect clients, and restart
552
529
the server program.
