Bug #3028: installer: confusion of set/get disk encryption passphrase dialogs
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3028#change-14337

* Author: liweitianux
* Status: In Progress
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: tuxillo
* Category: Other
* Target version: 6.4
* Start date: 2017-04-14
----------------------------------------
Currently, the *installer* uses the *same* dialog to "set" and "get" the 
passphrase for disk encryption, which causes some confusion, as well as a bit 
inconvenience.

The followings are the 2 cases to come across the confusing "get" passphrase 
dialog:

1. installation finished, begins to configure the system, which will ask the 
disk encryption passphrase;
2. boot into the LiveCD, and use it to "Configure an installed System" (see 
attached screenshots).

The corresponding code is at 
"usr.sbin/installer/dfuibe_installer/fn_configure.c" with the function 
"fn_get_passphrase()".  It may be better to create separate functions for the 
"set" and "get" passphrase dialogs, respectively.


Cheers,
Aly
