* Installing the Mandos server
97
115
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
118
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
119
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
120
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
121
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
104
122
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
106
124
# update-initramfs -k all -u
108
126
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
109
127
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
110
For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start
128
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
112
130
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
113
131
will be received by the client by running the command:
115
133
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
116
134
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
117
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
135
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt \
136
--tls-privkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-privkey.pem \
137
--tls-pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-pubkey.pem; echo
119
139
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
120
140
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
122
142
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
123
143
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
124
take more than an hour to reboot.
144
take more than five minutes to reboot.
126
146
* Further customizations
128
148
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
129
149
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).
130
If 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.
150
If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
151
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
152
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
