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

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

* Installing the Mandos server
103
83
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
105
For Debian: su - -c 'make install-client'
85
For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
106
86
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client
108
88
This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
109
89
and entropy, so be patient.
111
91
3. Run the following command:
112
For Debian: su - -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
92
For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
113
93
For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
115
95
When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
118
98
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
101
4. Configure the client to use the correct network interface. The
102
default is "eth0", and if this needs to be adjusted, it will be
103
necessary to edit /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf to uncomment and
104
change the line there. If that file is changed, the initrd.img
125
105
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
127
107
# update-initramfs -k all -u
129
109
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
110
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
111
For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start
133
113
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
134
114
will be received by the client by running the command:
136
116
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
137
117
--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
118
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
142
120
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
143
121
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
145
123
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
146
124
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
147
take more than five minutes to reboot.
125
take more than an hour to reboot.
149
127
* Further customizations
151
129
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
152
130
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.
