Download The Mandos 1.0.12

The Mandos system allows computers to have encrypted root file systems and at the same time be capable of remote or unattended reboots. The computers run a small client program in the initial RAM disk environment which will communicate with a server over a network. All network communication is encrypted using TLS. The clients are identified by the server using an OpenPGP key that is unique to each client. The server sends the clients an encrypted password. The encrypted password is decrypted by the clients using the same OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to unlock the root file system.

Update:
In the client, network interface renaming by "udev" is allowed. User-supplied plugins are now installed correctly. If usplash was used but the password was instead provided by the Mandos server, the usplash daemon used to ignore the first command passed to it. This has been fixed. The "--userid" and "--groupid" options in "plugin-runner.conf" now work. In the server, the LSB header in the init.d script has been fixed to make dependency-based booting work. A client receiving its password now also counts as if a checker was run successfully (i.e. the timeout timer is reset).
