<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
127
<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a client program that
128
communicates with <citerefentry><refentrytitle
129
>mandos</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
130
to get a password. It uses IPv6 link-local addresses to get
131
network connectivity, Zeroconf to find the server, and TLS with
132
an OpenPGP key to ensure authenticity and confidentiality. It
133
keeps running, trying all servers on the network, until it
134
receives a satisfactory reply.
137
This program is not meant to be run directly; it is really meant
138
to run as a plugin of the <application>Mandos</application>
139
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>plugin-runner</refentrytitle>
140
<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>, which in turn
141
runs as a <quote>keyscript</quote> specified in the
142
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>crypttab</refentrytitle>
143
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file.

<title>PURPOSE</title>
150
The purpose of this is to enable <emphasis>remote and unattended
151
rebooting</emphasis> of client host computer with an
152
<emphasis>encrypted root file system</emphasis>. See <xref
153
linkend="overview"/> for details.

<title>OVERVIEW</title>

<xi:include href="overview.xml"/>
161
This program is the client part. It is a plugin started by
162
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>plugin-runner</refentrytitle>
163
<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry> which will run in
164
an initial <acronym>RAM</acronym> disk environment.
167
This program could, theoretically, be used as a keyscript in
168
<filename>/etc/crypttab</filename>, but it would then be
169
impossible to enter the encrypted root disk password at the
170
console, since this program does not read from the console at
171
all. This is why a separate plugin does that, which will be run
172
in parallell to this one.
102
<command>&COMMANDNAME;</command> is a mandos plugin that works
103
like a client program that through avahi detects mandos servers,
104
sets up a gnutls connect and request a encrypted password. Any
105
passwords given is automaticly decrypted and passed to
176

<title>OPTIONS</title>
179
This program is commonly not invoked from the command line; it
180
is normally started by the <application>Mandos</application>
181
plugin runner, see <citerefentry><refentrytitle
182
>plugin-runner</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum>
183
</citerefentry>. Any command line options this program accepts
184
are therefore normally provided by the plugin runner, and not
113
Commonly not invoked as command lines but from configuration
114
file of plugin runner.

198
Do not use Zeroconf to locate servers. Connect directly
199
to only one specified <application>Mandos</application>
200
server. Note that an IPv6 address has colon characters in
201
it, so the <emphasis>last</emphasis> colon character is
202
assumed to separate the address from the port number.
205
This option is normally only useful for debugging.

It will also enable debug mode in the Avahi and GnuTLS

libraries, making them print large amounts of debugging

339
This program will exit with a successful (zero) exit status if a
340
server could be found and the password received from it could be
341
successfully decrypted and output on standard output. The
342
program will exit with a non-zero exit status only if a critical
343
error occurs. Otherwise, it will forever connect to new
344
<application>Mandosservers</application> servers as they appear,
345
trying to get a decryptable password.
