* Prerequisites
** Operating System
Debian 5.0 "lenny" or Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron".
This is mostly for scripts to make sure that the client is
installed and started in the initial RAM disk environment and that
the initrd.img file is automatically made unreadable. The programs
themselves *could* be run in other distributions, but they *are*
specific to GNU/Linux systems, and not intended to be portable to
other Unix systems.
** Libraries
The following libraries and packages are needed. (It is possible
that it might work with older versions of some of these, but these
versions are confirmed to work. Newer versions are almost
certainly OK.)
*** Documentation
These are required to build the manual pages for both the server
and client:
+ DocBook 4.5 http://www.docbook.org/
+ DocBook XSL stylesheets 1.71.0
http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookXslStylesheets
Package names:
docbook docbook-xsl
*** Mandos Server
+ GnuTLS 2.4 http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/
+ Avahi 0.6.16 http://www.avahi.org/
+ Python 2.4 http://www.python.org/
+ Python-GnuTLS 1.1.5 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-gnutls/
+ dbus-python 0.82.4 http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/
+ python-ctypes 1.0.0 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ctypes
Strongly recommended:
+ fping 2.4b2-to-ipv6 http://www.fping.com/
Package names:
python-gnutls avahi-daemon python2.5 python-avahi python-dbus
python-ctypes
*** Mandos Client
+ initramfs-tools 0.85i
http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/initramfs-tools.html
+ GnuTLS 2.4 http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/
+ Avahi 0.6.16 http://www.avahi.org/
+ GnuPG 1.4.9 http://www.gnupg.org/
+ GPGME 1.1.6 http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/gpgme/
Package names:
initramfs-tools libgnutls-dev libavahi-core-dev gnupg
libgpgme11-dev
* Installing the Mandos server
1. Do "make doc".
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos server, run the following
command: "sudo make install-server".
(This creates a configuration without any clients configured; we
need an actually configured client to do that; see below.)
* Installing the Mandos client.
1. Do "make all doc".
2. On the computer to run as a Mandos client, run the following
command: "sudo make install-client". This will also create an
OpenPGP key, which will take some time and entropy, so either
wait patiently or frob your mouse until it's done.
3. Run "mandos-keygen --password". When prompted, enter the
password/passphrase for the encrypted root file system on this
client computer. It will output a section of text, starting with
a [section header]. Copy and paste this into the file
"/etc/mandos/clients.conf" *on the server computer*.
4. On the server computer, start the server by running the command
"invoke-rc.d mandos start".
* 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).
Is IPsec is not used, it is suggested that a more cryptographically
secure checker program is used and configured, since without IPsec
ping packets can be faked.
