Mandos Encrypted File System Unattended Reboot Utility 1.4.0

Posted Oct 11, 2011

Authored by Teddy | Site fukt.bsnet.se

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.

Changes: In the client, this release fixes a message about "rmdir: Directory not empty". In the server, it adds a special extra time extension when a client receives a password, so default timeout values have now been tightened. There are new D-Bus properties and new D-Bus bus and interface names to reflect a domain name change.
