4. Configure the client to use the correct network interface. The
102
default is "eth0", and if this needs to be adjusted, it will be
103
necessary to edit /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf to uncomment and
104
change the line there. If that file is changed, the initrd.img

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
105
112
file must be updated, possibly using the following command:
107

# update-initramfs -k all -u

For Ubuntu: sudo invoke-rc.d mandos start

For Ubuntu: sudo service mandos start

At this point, it is possible to verify that the correct password

121
will be received by the client by running the command:

130
After this, the client computer should be able to reboot without
124
131
needing a password entered on the console, as long as it does not

take more than an hour to reboot.

take more than five minutes to reboot.

* Further customizations

You may want to tighten or loosen the timeouts in the server

configuration files; see mandos.conf(5) and mandos-clients.conf(5).

If IPsec is not used, it is suggested that a more cryptographically
132
secure checker program is used and configured, since without IPsec
133
ping packets can be faked.
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.
