Mandos 1.0.2 (Default branch)
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.Image

Poll(4) 						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							   Poll(4)

NAME

       Poll - Contains information specifying when the UNIX-to-UNIX Copy Program (UUCP) should poll designated remote computers

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/uucp/Poll

DESCRIPTION

       The  /usr/lib/uucp/Poll	file  contains information for polling remote computers. Each entry in the Poll file contains the name of a remote
       computer to call, followed by a <TAB> character, and a sequence of hourly intervals expressed in digits. These are the hourly intervals	at
       which the local system polls a remote system; you must specify interval times as digits between 0 and 23. The format of entries in the Poll
       file is: sys-name<TAB>hour

       Note that you must be logged in as root to edit the Poll file, which is owned by the uucp login ID.

       The Poll file is used with the crontabs/uucp file, the uudemon.hour script, and the uudemon.poll script.  Together, these files are respon-
       sible for initiating automatic calls to remote systems to perform certain maintenance tasks.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  example provides polling of computer eagle every 4 hours: eagle	   0 4 8 12 16 20 The follwing example provides polling of
       computer hera every hour: hera 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
