This is mostly for the support scripts which make sure that the

client is installed and started in the initial RAM disk environment

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
87
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
105
For Debian: su - -c 'make install-client'
89
For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
106
90
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client
108
92
This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
109
93
and entropy, so be patient.
111
95
3. Run the following command:
112
For Debian: su - -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
96
For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
113
97
For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
115
99
When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
118
102
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
119
103
server computer*.
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
125
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
105
4. Configure the client to use the correct network interface. The
106
interface to use is automatically chosen at boot, and if this
107
needs to be adjusted, it will be necessary to edit
108
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to change the DEVICE setting
109
there. Alternatively, the file /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf
110
can be edited to add a "--device" parameter for the
111
mandos-client(8) plugin. Please note: If any of those files are
112
changed, the initrd.img file must be updated, possibly using the
127
115
# update-initramfs -k all -u
129
117
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
130
For Debian: su - -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
118
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
131
119
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
133
121
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
136
124
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
137
125
--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
126
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
142
128
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
143
129
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
145
131
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
146
132
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
147
take more than five minutes to reboot.
133
take more than an hour to reboot.
