   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
15
   mind.

** Libraries

19
   The following libraries and packages are needed.  (It is possible
20
   that it might work with older versions of some of these, but these
21
   versions are confirmed to work.  Newer versions are almost
22
   certainly OK.)

37
    the manual page "mandos.8", for example, can be read by running
38
    "man -l mandos.8".

92
     command:
93
     For Debian: su -c 'make install-server'
94
     For Ubuntu: sudo make install-server
95
     
96
     (This creates a configuration without any clients configured; you

104
     command:
105
     For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
106
     For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client

     This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
109
     and entropy, so be patient.

  3. Run the following command:
112
     For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
113
     For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
114
     
115
     When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
116
     root file system on this client computer.  The command will
117
     output a section of text, starting with a [section header].  Copy
118
     and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
119
     server computer*.

  4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
122
     your local system.  Note: This is not necessary if the server is
123
     present on the same wired local network as the client.  If you do
124
     make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
125
     file must be updated, possibly using the following command:

     At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
134
     will be received by the client by running the command:
135
     
136
	# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
137
		--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \

     After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without

mandos-keygen: Generate "checker" option to use SSH fingerprints.
153
  If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
154
  a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
155
  configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
