This file documents the next steps to take after installation of the
2
Debian package, and also contain some notes specific to the Debian
3
packaging which are not also in the manual.

The server must be given a password to give back to the client on

is possible to verify that the correct password will be received by

this client by running the command, on the client:

* Specifying a Client Network Interface
35
At boot time the network interface to use will by default be
36
automatically detected. If should result in an incorrect interface,
37
edit the DEVICE setting in the "/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf"
38
file. (The default setting is empty, meaning to autodetect the
39
interface.) *If* the DEVICE setting is changed, it will be
40
necessary to update the initrd image by running the command
42
At boot time the network interfaces to use will by default be
43
automatically detected. If this should result in incorrect
44
interfaces, edit the DEVICE setting in the
45
"/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf" file. (The default setting is
46
empty, meaning it will autodetect the interfaces.) *If* the DEVICE
47
setting is changed, it will be necessary to update the initrd image
48
by running this command:
42
50
update-initramfs -k all -u

The device can be overridden at boot time on the Linux kernel

The device can also be overridden at boot time on the Linux kernel

command line using the sixth colon-separated field of the "ip="
46
54
option; for exact syntax, read the documentation in the file
47
"/usr/share/doc/linux-doc-*/Documentation/filesystems/nfsroot.txt",
55
"/usr/share/doc/linux-doc-*/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt",
48
56
available in the "linux-doc-*" package.
50
Note that since this network interface is used in the initial RAM
51
disk environment, the network interface *must* exist at that stage.
52
Thus, the interface can *not* be a pseudo-interface such as "br0" or
53
"tun0"; instead, only real interface (such as "eth0") can be used.

60
Thus, an interface can *not* be a pseudo-interface such as "br0" or
61
"tun0"; instead, only real interfaces (such as "eth0") can be used.
62
This can be overcome by writing a "network hook" program to create
63
an interface (see mandos-client(8mandos)) and placing it in
64
"/etc/mandos/network-hooks.d", from where it will be copied into the
65
initial RAM disk. Example network hook scripts can be found in
66
"/usr/share/doc/mandos-client/examples/network-hooks.d".

93
For very advanced users, it is possible to specify simply
81
94
"mandos=connect" on the kernel command line to make the system only
82
95
set up the network (using the data in the "ip=" option) and not pass
83
96
any extra "--connect" options to mandos-client at boot. For this to
84
97
work, "--options-for=mandos-client:--connect=<ADDRESS>:<PORT>" needs
85
98
to be manually added to the file "/etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf".

* Diffie-Hellman Parameters
102
On installation, a file with Diffie-Hellman parameters,
103
/etc/keys/mandos/dhparams.pem, will be generated and automatically
104
installed into the initital RAM disk image and also used by the
105
Mandos Client on boot. If different parameters are needed for
106
policy or other reasons, simply replace the existing dhparams.pem
107
file and update the initital RAM disk image.
