This is mostly for the support scripts which make sure that the
10

client is installed and started in the initial RAM disk environment
11
and that the initial RAM file system image file is automatically
12
made unreadable. The server and client programs themselves *could*
13
be run in other distributions, but they *are* specific to GNU/Linux
14
systems, and are not written with portabillity to other Unixes in

* Installing the Mandos server
103
82
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
105
For Debian: su - -c 'make install-client'
84
For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
106
85
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client
108
87
This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
109
88
and entropy, so be patient.
111
90
3. Run the following command:
112
For Debian: su - -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
91
For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
113
92
For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
115
94
When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
118
97
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on 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
100
4. Configure the client to use the correct network interface. The
101
default is "eth0", and if this needs to be adjusted, it will be
102
necessary to edit /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf to uncomment and
103
change the line there. If that file is changed, the initrd.img
125
104
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
127
106
# update-initramfs -k all -u
129
108
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
130
For Debian: su - -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
131
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
109
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
110
For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start
133
112
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
134
113
will be received by the client by running the command:
136
115
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
137
116
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
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
117
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
142
119
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
143
120
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
145
122
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
146
123
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
147
take more than five minutes to reboot.
124
take more than an hour to reboot.
149
126
* Further customizations
151
128
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
152
129
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).
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.
130
Is IPsec is not used, it is suggested that a more cryptographically
131
secure checker program is used and configured, since without IPsec
132
ping packets can be faked.
