This file documents the next steps to take after installation of the
2
Debian package, and also contain some notes specific to the Debian
3
packaging which are not also in the manual.

this client by running the command, on the client:

* Specifying a Client Network Interface
42
At boot time the network interfaces to use will by default be
43
automatically detected. If this should result in incorrect
44
interfaces, edit the DEVICE setting in the
45
"/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf" file. (The default setting is
46
empty, meaning it will autodetect the interfaces.) *If* the DEVICE
47
setting is changed, it will be necessary to update the initrd image
48
by running this command:

command line using the sixth colon-separated field of the "ip="

option; for exact syntax, read the documentation in the file

47
"/usr/share/doc/linux-doc-*/Documentation/filesystems/nfsroot.txt",
56
48
available in the "linux-doc-*" package.
58
Note that since the network interfaces are used in the initial RAM
59
disk environment, the network interfaces *must* exist at that stage.
60
Thus, an interface can *not* be a pseudo-interface such as "br0" or
61
"tun0"; instead, only real interfaces (such as "eth0") can be used.
62
This can be overcome by writing a "network hook" program to create
63
an interface (see mandos-client(8mandos)) and placing it in
64
"/etc/mandos/network-hooks.d", from where it will be copied into the
65
initial RAM disk. Example network hook scripts can be found in
66
"/usr/share/doc/mandos-client/examples/network-hooks.d".

For very advanced users, it it possible to specify simply
94
81
"mandos=connect" on the kernel command line to make the system only
95
82
set up the network (using the data in the "ip=" option) and not pass
96
83
any extra "--connect" options to mandos-client at boot. For this to
97
84
work, "--options-for=mandos-client:--connect=<ADDRESS>:<PORT>" needs
98
85
to be manually added to the file "/etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf".
100
* Diffie-Hellman Parameters
102
On installation, a file with Diffie-Hellman parameters,
103
/etc/keys/mandos/dhparams.pem, will be generated and automatically
104
installed into the initital RAM disk image and also used by the
105
Mandos Client on boot. If different parameters are needed for
106
policy or other reasons, simply replace the existing dhparams.pem
107
file and update the initital RAM disk image.
