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

client is installed and started in the initial RAM disk environment

server and client programs themselves *could* be run in other

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
115
# update-initramfs -k all -u

5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command

118
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
102
For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start
119
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
121
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
122
will be received by the client by running the command:
124
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
125
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
126
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
128
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
129
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
104
131
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
105
132
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
