client is installed and started in the initial RAM disk environment

102
interface to use is automatically chosen at boot, and if this
103
needs to be adjusted, it will be necessary to edit
104
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to change the DEVICE setting
105
there. Alternatively, the file /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf
106
can be edited to add a "--device" parameter for the
107
mandos-client(8) plugin. Please note: If any of those files are

At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
118
will be received by the client by running the command:
120
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
121
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
122
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
124
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
125
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
104

After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
