Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.6-6 Severity: wishlist Today I discovered in README.initramfs.gz that there is a new keyscript, passdev. It seems to be a really nice idea, but I think it misses an important option, a timeout.
Currently I have an unencrypted / and LUKS-crypted /home and swap, the keyfile for the later two is saved on an USB-stick. When I forget the USB-stick, I would like to still be able to boot the box and enter a passphrase by hand (luksOpen). This is not possible with passdev at the moment (I could ^C it, but that's not userfriendly). Could you implement a timout option?
