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
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
108
97
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
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
115
104
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
117
106
# update-initramfs -k all -u
119
108
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
120
109
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
121
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
110
For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start
123
112
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
124
113
will be received by the client by running the command:
126
115
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
127
116
--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
117
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
132
119
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
133
120
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
135
122
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
136
123
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
137
take more than five minutes to reboot.
124
take more than an hour to reboot.
139
126
* Further customizations
141
128
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
142
129
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.
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.
