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

made unreadable. The server and client programs themselves *could*
13
be run in other distributions, but they *are* specific to GNU/Linux

systems, and are not written with portabillity to other Unixes in

* Installing the Mandos server
81
65
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos server, run the following
83
For Debian: su -c 'make install-server'
84
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-server
86
(This creates a configuration without any clients configured; you
66
command: "sudo make install-server".

(This creates a configuration without any clients configured; we
87
69
need an actually configured client to do that; see below.)

71
* Installing the Mandos client.
91
73
1. Do "make all doc".
93
75
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
95
For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
96
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client
98
This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
99
and entropy, so be patient.
101
3. Run the following command:
102
For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
103
For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
105
When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
106
root file system on this client computer. The command will
107
output a section of text, starting with a [section header]. Copy
108
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
111
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
112
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
113
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
114
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
115
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
117
# update-initramfs -k all -u
119
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
120
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
121
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
123
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
124
will be received by the client by running the command:
126
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
127
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
128
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt \
129
--tls-privkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-privkey.pem \
130
--tls-pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/tls-pubkey.pem; echo
132
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
133
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
135
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
136
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
137
take more than five minutes to reboot.
76
command: "sudo make install-client". This will also create an
77
OpenPGP key, which will take some time and entropy, so either
78
wait patiently or frob your mouse until it's done.
80
3. Run "mandos-keygen --password". When prompted, enter the
81
password/passphrase for the encrypted root file system on this
82
client computer. It will output a section of text, starting with
83
a [section header]. Copy and paste this into the file
84
"/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the server computer*.
86
4. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
87
"invoke-rc.d mandos start".
139
89
* Further customizations
141
91
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
142
92
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).
143
If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
144
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
145
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.

Is IPsec is not used, it is suggested that a more cryptographically
