* Installing the Mandos server
83
103
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
85
For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
105
For Debian: su - -c 'make install-client'
86
106
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client
88
108
This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
89
109
and entropy, so be patient.
91
111
3. Run the following command:
92
For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
112
For Debian: su - -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
93
113
For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
95
115
When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
98
118
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
101
4. Configure the client to use the correct network interface. The
102
interface to use is automatically chosen at boot, and if this
103
needs to be adjusted, it will be necessary to edit
104
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to change the DEVICE setting
105
there. Alternatively, the file /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf
106
can be edited to add a "--device" parameter for the
107
mandos-client(8) plugin. Please note: If any of those files are
108
changed, the initrd.img file must be updated, possibly using the
121
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:
111
127
# update-initramfs -k all -u
113
129
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
114
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
130
For Debian: su - -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
115
131
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
117
133
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
120
136
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
121
137
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
122
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
138
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt \
139
--tls-privkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-privkey.pem \
140
--tls-pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-pubkey.pem; echo
124
142
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
125
143
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
127
145
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
128
146
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
129
take more than an hour to reboot.
147
take more than five minutes to reboot.
131
149
* Further customizations
133
151
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
134
152
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).
135
If IPsec is not used, it is suggested that a more cryptographically
136
secure checker program is used and configured, since without IPsec
137
ping packets can be faked.
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.
