6
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.

would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
10
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.

file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
142
still works, but is deprecated.
144

145
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
146
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
147
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
148
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
149
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
150
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
152
