NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       mandos-monitor

DESCRIPTION

       mandos-monitor is an interactive program to monitor and control the operations of the Mandos server (see
       mandos(8)).

PURPOSE

       The purpose of this is to enable remote and unattended rebooting of client host computer with an
       encrypted root file system. See the section called “OVERVIEW” for details.

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 an OpenPGP 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 the same 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.

BUGS

       This program can currently only be used to monitor and control a Mandos server with the default D-Bus
       service name of “Mandos”.

EXAMPLE

       This program takes no options:

       mandos-monitor

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.
