* Installing the Mandos server
97
107
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
100
4. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
110
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
111
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
112
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
113
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
114
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
116
# update-initramfs -k all -u
118
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
101
119
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
102
For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start
120
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
122
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
123
will be received by the client by running the command:
125
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
126
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
127
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
129
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
130
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
104
132
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
105
133
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
106
take more than an hour to reboot.
134
take more than five minutes to reboot.
108
136
* Further customizations
110
138
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
111
139
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).

Is IPsec is not used, it is suggested that a more cryptographically
113
secure checker program is used and configured, since without IPsec
114
ping packets can be faked.
140
If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
141
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
142
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
