* Installing the Mandos server
82
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos server, run the following
84
For Debian: su -c 'make install-server'
85
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-server
87
(This creates a configuration without any clients configured; you
88
need an actually configured client to do that; see below.)

* Installing the Mandos client.
94
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
96
For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
97
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client
99
This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
100
and entropy, so be patient.
102
3. Run the following command:
103
For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
104
For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
106
When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
107
root file system on this client computer. The command will
108
output a section of text, starting with a [section header]. Copy
109
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
112
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
113
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
114
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
115
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
116
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
118
# update-initramfs -k all -u
120
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
121
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
122
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
124
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
125
will be received by the client by running the command:
127
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
128
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
129
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt \
130
--tls-privkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-privkey.pem \
131
--tls-pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-pubkey.pem; echo
133
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
134
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
136
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
137
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
138
take more than five minutes to reboot.
53
+ On the computer to run as a Mandos server, run the following
54
command: "sudo make install-client". This will also create an
55
OpenPGP key, which will take some time and entropy, so either wait
56
patiently or frob your mouse until it's done.
58
+ Run "mandos-keygen --password". When prompted, enter the
59
password/passphrase for the encrypted root file system on this
60
client computer. It will output a section of text, starting with
61
a [section header]. Copy and paste this into the
62
"/etc/mandos/clients.conf" file *on the server computer*.
64
+ On the server computer, start the server by running the command
65
"invoke-rc.d mandos start".

You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server

configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).

If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
145
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
146
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
