Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-6
Severity: wishlist
I) Right now we have on case (AFAIK) where no keyscripts are used:
When "none" is specified in crypttab and only a password is used as key
II) If bug #509072 will be fixed, we'd miss our current "passdev-keyscript"
III) If bug #509071 will be fixed, we'd neet tries support for this
"none"-case.
How to solve all of this?
I'd suggest the following:
1) For every decryption (even in the "none"-case") a keyscript is used.
2) Create a new keyscript which implements tries, and uses/supports
passdev and uses just askpass for password reading, but nothing else
like (gpg or ssl or whatever).
That way we'd solve II and III (for I we don't have to solve anything
XD) and even add fancy usplash/splashy support for the "none"-case via
askpass support for those.
Chris.
