Hello, Question about mounting encrypted filesystems with automount.
I tried mounting encrypted filesystem with autofs (Suse 9.1) and it almost succeeded, only thing was that password prompt appeared in console that started the daemon from /etc/init.d/autofs without beeing able to write in the password. Is it possible to add something to the code, to a section just before when mount is going to be done for encrypted filesystems? Has it been done allready? Where can I find the solution? Is there a way, a 'hook' or similar for example in automountd, to be able to pop up a window somehow to ask password when mounting encrypted filesystem or to redirect the password question to console screen for user to type it in or to handle encrypted filesystems mounting somehow securely and provide password etc. for mount when it is needed? I think that access lists etc. can prohibit the use of mounted filesystem for others. I'm not sure. Is it possible to mount filesystem to be used by only one user? Encrypted filesystems work with loopback device, howtos and examples can be found from www.tldp.org.
