Name

       mandos-monitor - Text-based GUI to control the Mandos server.

Overview

       This is part of the Mandos system for allowing computers to have encrypted root file systems and at the
       same time be capable of remote and/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 a TLS key; each
       client has one unique to it. The server sends the clients an encrypted password. The encrypted password
       is decrypted by the clients using a separate OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to unlock the
       root file system, whereupon the computers can continue booting normally.

       This program is used to monitor and control the Mandos server. In particular, it can be used to approve
       Mandos clients which have been configured to require approval. It also shows all significant events
       reported by the Mandos server.

Purpose

       The purpose of this is to enable remoteandunattendedrebooting of client host computer with an
       encryptedrootfilesystem. See the section called “OVERVIEW” for details.

Security

       This program must be permitted to access the Mandos server via the D-Bus interface. This normally
       requires the root user, but could be configured otherwise by reconfiguring the D-Bus server.
