It's missing in the debian package (I've submitted another report about this), but it exists in the upstream source. I had taken it from the source distribution. > second, for me the space instead of comma doesn't break cryptdisks. the > check simply is not run, as a fifth argument in /etc/crypttab is ignored > in any case. My /etc/init.d/cryptdisks went into an endless loop. I can't reproduce it at the moment on my machine at home. The problem occured on a notebook, which I currently do not have here.

I couldn't reproduce it here at home, but I'll check when I have the notebook for the next time, where the problem occured. regards Hadmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
