<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
127
<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a client program that
128
communicates with <citerefentry><refentrytitle
129
>mandos</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
130
to get a password. It uses IPv6 link-local addresses to get
131
network connectivity, Zeroconf to find the server, and TLS with
132
an OpenPGP key to ensure authenticity and confidentiality. It
133
keeps running, trying all servers on the network, until it
134
receives a satisfactory reply.
137
This program is not meant to be run directly; it is really meant
138
to run as a plugin of the <application>Mandos</application>
139
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>plugin-runner</refentrytitle>
140
<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>, which runs in the
141
initial <acronym>RAM</acronym> disk environment because it is
142
specified as a <quote>keyscript</quote> in the <citerefentry>
143
<refentrytitle>crypttab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
144
</citerefentry> file.

<title>PURPOSE</title>
151
The purpose of this is to enable <emphasis>remote and unattended
152
rebooting</emphasis> of client host computer with an
153
<emphasis>encrypted root file system</emphasis>. See <xref
154
linkend="overview"/> for details.

<title>OPTIONS</title>
161
This program is commonly not invoked from the command line; it
162
is normally started by the <application>Mandos</application>
163
plugin runner, see <citerefentry><refentrytitle
164
>plugin-runner</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum>
165
</citerefentry>. Any command line options this program accepts
166
are therefore normally provided by the plugin runner, and not
102
<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a mandos plugin that works
103
like a client program that through avahi detects mandos servers,
104
sets up a gnutls connect and request a encrypted password. Any
105
passwords given is automaticly decrypted and passed to

180
Do not use Zeroconf to locate servers. Connect directly
181
to only one specified <application>Mandos</application>
182
server. Note that an IPv6 address has colon characters in
183
it, so the <emphasis>last</emphasis> colon character is
184
assumed to separate the address from the port number.

<title>OVERVIEW</title>
322
<xi:include href="../overview.xml"/>
324
This program is the client part. It is a plugin started by
325
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>plugin-runner</refentrytitle>
326
<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry> which will run in
327
an initial <acronym>RAM</acronym> disk environment.
330
This program could, theoretically, be used as a keyscript in
331
<filename>/etc/crypttab</filename>, but it would then be
332
impossible to enter the encrypted root disk password at the
333
console, since this program does not read from the console at
334
all. This is why a separate plugin does that, which will be run
335
in parallell to this one.
339
<refsect1 id="exit_status">
340
<title>EXIT STATUS</title>
342
This program will exit with a successful (zero) exit status if a
343
server could be found and the password received from it could be
344
successfully decrypted and output on standard output. The
345
program will exit with a non-zero exit status only if a critical
346
error occurs. Otherwise, it will forever connect to new
347
<application>Mandosservers</application> servers as they appear,
348
trying to get a decryptable password.
