  This is part of the Mandos system for allowing computers to have
6
 
  encrypted root file systems and also be capable of remote and
7
 
  unattended reboots.  The computers run a small client program in the
8
 
  initial RAM disk environment which will communicate with a server
9
 
  over a network.  The clients are identified by the server using a
10
 
  OpenPGP key; each client has one unique to it.  The server sends the
11
 
  clients an encrypted password.  The encrypted password is decrypted
12
 
  by the clients using the same OpenPGP key, and the password is then
13
 
  used to unlock the root file system, whereupon the computers can
14
 
  continue booting normally.
