* Specifying a Client Network Interface
35
At boot time the network interface to use will by default be
36
automatically detected. If should result in an incorrect interface,
37
edit the DEVICE setting in the "/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf"
38
file. (The default setting is empty, meaning to autodetect the
39
interface.) *If* the DEVICE setting is changed, it will be
40
necessary to update the initrd image by running the command

At boot time the network interfaces to use will by default be

48

setting is changed, it will be necessary to update the initrd image

by running this command:

available in the "linux-doc-*" package.
50
Note that since this network interface is used in the initial RAM
51
disk environment, the network interface *must* exist at that stage.
52
Thus, the interface can *not* be a pseudo-interface such as "br0" or
53
"tun0"; instead, only real interface (such as "eth0") can be used.
54
This can be overcome by writing a "network hook" program to create
55
the interface (see mandos-client(8mandos)) and placing it in
56
"/etc/mandos/network-hooks.d", from where it will be copied into the
57
initial RAM disk. Example network hook scripts can be found in
58
"/usr/share/doc/mandos-client/network-hooks.d".

Any plugins found in "/etc/mandos/plugins.d" will override and add

not forget to update the initital RAM disk image:

"mandos=connect:<IP_ADDRESS>:<PORT_NUMBER>" on the kernel command
85
For very advanced users, it it possible to specify simply
86
"mandos=connect" on the kernel command line to make the system only
87
set up the network (using the data in the "ip=" option) and not pass
88
any extra "--connect" options to mandos-client at boot. For this to
89
work, "--options-for=mandos-client:--connect=<ADDRESS>:<PORT>" needs
90
to be manually added to the file "/etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf".

* Diffie-Hellman Parameters
116
On installation, a file with Diffie-Hellman parameters,
117
/etc/keys/mandos/dhparams.pem, will be generated and automatically
118
installed into the initial RAM disk image and also used by the
119
Mandos Client on boot. If different parameters are needed for
120
policy or other reasons, simply replace the existing dhparams.pem
121
file and update the initial RAM disk image.
