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

client is installed and started in the initial RAM disk environment
11
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
14
systems, and are not written with portabillity to other Unixes in

that it might work with older versions of some of these, but these

versions are confirmed to work. Newer versions are almost

* Installing the Mandos server
78
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos server, run the following
80
For Debian: su -c 'make install-server'
81
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-server
83
(This creates a configuration without any clients configured; you
84
need an actually configured client to do that; see below.)
86
* Installing the Mandos client.
90
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
92
For Debian: su -c 'make install-client'
93
For Ubuntu: sudo make install-client
95
This will also create an OpenPGP key, which will take some time
96
and entropy, so be patient.
98
3. Run the following command:
99
For Debian: su -c 'mandos-keygen --password'
100
For Ubuntu: sudo mandos-keygen --password
102
When prompted, enter the password/passphrase for the encrypted
103
root file system on this client computer. The command will
104
output a section of text, starting with a [section header]. Copy
105
and append this to the file "/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the
108
4. Configure the client to use any special configuration needed for
109
your local system. Note: This is not necessary if the server is
110
present on the same wired local network as the client. If you do
111
make changes to /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf, the initrd.img
112
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
114
# update-initramfs -k all -u
116
5. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
117
For Debian: su -c 'invoke-rc.d mandos start'
118
For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start
120
At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password
121
will be received by the client by running the command:
123
# /usr/lib/mandos/plugins.d/mandos-client \
124
--pubkey=/etc/keys/mandos/pubkey.txt \
125
--seckey=/etc/keys/mandos/seckey.txt; echo
127
This command should retrieve the password from the server,
128
decrypt it, and output it to standard output.
130
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
131
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not
132
take more than five minutes to reboot.
134
* Further customizations
136
You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server
137
configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).
138
If IPsec is not used and SSH is not installed, it is suggested that
139
a more cryptographically secure checker program is used and
140
configured, since, without IPsec, ping packets can be faked.
