Mandos Changelog

What's new in Mandos 1.6.8

Sep 9, 2014
  • Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
  • Server ** Bug fix: "mandos-monitor" now really redraws screen on Ctrl-L.
  • Now requires Python 2.7.

New in Mandos 1.6.4 (Feb 17, 2014)

  • Very minor fix to self-test code.

New in Mandos 1.6.3 (Jan 22, 2014)

  • Server:
  • Add systemd support.
  • For PID file, fall back to /var/run if /run does not exist.
  • Client:
  • Moved files from /usr/lib/mandos to whatever the architecture specifies, like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mandos or /usr/lib64/mandos.

New in Mandos 1.5.2 (Jan 8, 2012)

  • This version removes the recently added D-Bus signal "se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest"; its implementation was buggy and its utility questionable.

New in Mandos 1.5.1 (Jan 2, 2012)

  • This release includes the intro(8mandos) manual page, which was missing since the migration from the README file in version 1.4.0.

New in Mandos 1.4.0 (Oct 10, 2011)

  • 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.

New in Mandos 1.3.1 (Jul 28, 2011)

  • The client retries all Mandos servers found indefinitely.

New in Mandos 1.2.3 (Oct 12, 2010)

  • This version has a server bugfix: it also exposes the D-Bus API in non-debug mode.

New in Mandos 1.2.2 (Oct 8, 2010)

  • This is a minor release to fix compilation of the client with non-Linux kernels.

New in Mandos 1.2.1 (Oct 4, 2010)

  • Documentation bug fix: Key for removing client 7 is "R", not "r"

New in Mandos 1.2 (Sep 29, 2010)

  • The client has a new "plymouth" plugin to ask for a password using the Plymouth graphical boot system.
  • The server uses a new D-Bus API.
  • The following new control utilities were added using the new D-Bus API: mandos-ctl, a command-line based utility; and mandos-monitor, a text-based GUI interface.

New in Mandos 1.0.14 (Oct 27, 2009)

  • This release enables building without -pie and -fPIE if BROKEN_PIE is set.

New in Mandos 1.0.13 (Oct 22, 2009)

  • This release has a client security bugfix: if the Mandos server is also installed, its config files (with encrypted passwords) will not be copied into the initrd.img-* files.

New in Mandos 1.0.12 (Sep 18, 2009)

  • 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).
