12:16 < rogermason> hello.
12:20 < rogermason> I'm wondering if there is some means to monitor and interact with the boot process of a machine remotely. For example, using socat(?) to send serial information over tcp? I think one would need to start the driver for the NIC in the initrd. Is this possible, or am I in phantasy land?
12:21 <@rxr> well, usually most ideas are possible
12:21 <@rxr> there is also some netconsole stuff in the linux kernel
12:21 <@rxr> what exactly are you trying to do?
12:22 <@rxr> just one time debugging, or larger scale production system monitoring?
12:27 < rogermason> Nothing complex. I sometimes need to restart a machine at work while I'm at home. I intend to rebuild all my system with home directories mounted on an encrypted partition. If rebooted, I need to supply the encryption passphrase.
12:28 <@rxr> if onyl the home is encryptd
12:28 <@rxr> you could set it up in a way that they come up without /home, so you can ssh in
12:29 <@rxr> maybe it can even be setup to let pam auto-mount the /home on login and ask for the passphrase or something like that
12:35 < rogermason> Ah, yes. Those are good ideas.
