dpkg-reconfigure dracut

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

Note that since the network interfaces are used in the initial RAM
65
61
disk environment, the network interfaces *must* exist at that stage.
66
62
Thus, an interface can *not* be a pseudo-interface such as "br0" or
67
"tun0"; instead, only real interfaces (such as "enp1s0" or "eth0")
68
can be used. This can be overcome by writing a "network hook"
69
program to create an interface (see mandos-client(8mandos)) and
70
placing it in "/etc/mandos/network-hooks.d", from where it will be
71
copied into the initial RAM disk. Example network hook scripts can
72
be found in "/usr/share/doc/mandos-client/examples/network-hooks.d".

Any plugins found in "/etc/mandos/plugins.d" will override and add

not forget to update the initial RAM disk image:

"mandos=connect:<IP_ADDRESS>:<PORT_NUMBER>" on the kernel command
103
For very advanced users, it is possible to specify "mandos=connect"
104
on the kernel command line to make the system only set up the
105
network (using the data in the "ip=" option) and not pass any extra
106
"--connect" options to mandos-client at boot. For this to work,
107
"--options-for=mandos-client:--connect=<ADDRESS>:<PORT>" needs to be
108
manually added to the file "/etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf" or, if
109
dracut is used with systemd, the "--connect=<ADDRESS>:<PORT>"
110
options needs to be added to an environment variable in an override
111
file for the "ask-password-mandos" service, as detailed in the file
112
"/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90mandos/ask-password-mandos.service".
95
For very advanced users, it is possible to specify simply
96
"mandos=connect" on the kernel command line to make the system only

any extra "--connect" options to mandos-client at boot. For this to

* Diffie-Hellman Parameters

On installation, a file with Diffie-Hellman parameters,
117
105
/etc/keys/mandos/dhparams.pem, will be generated and automatically
118
installed into the initial RAM disk image and also used by the

installed into the initital RAM disk image and also used by the
119
107
Mandos Client on boot. If different parameters are needed for
120
108
policy or other reasons, simply replace the existing dhparams.pem
121
file and update the initial RAM disk image.
