  This is part of the Mandos system for allowing computers to have
  encrypted root file systems and at the same time be capable of
  remote and/or unattended reboots.  The computers run a small client
  program in the initial <acronym>RAM</acronym> disk environment which
  will communicate with a server over a network.  The clients are
  identified by the server using a OpenPGP key; each client has one
  unique to it.  The server sends the clients an encrypted password.
  The encrypted password is decrypted by the clients using the same
  OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to unlock the root file
  system, whereupon the computers can continue booting normally.
