This is mostly for the support scripts which make sure that the

client is installed and started in the initial RAM disk environment

and that the initial RAM file system image file is automatically

made unreadable. The server and client programs themselves *could*

* Installing the Mandos server

and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
110
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
111
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
112
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
113
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
114
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
116
# update-initramfs -k all -u
118
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command

4. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
119
101
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
120
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
122
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
123
will be received by the client by running the command:
125
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
126
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
127
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
129
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
130
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
102
For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start
132
104
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
133
105
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
134
take more than five minutes to reboot.
106
take more than an hour to reboot.

* Further customizations
138
110
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
139
111
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
141
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
142
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
