Hi, I am looking into using loop devices so I can encrypt stuff onto a floppy file system. I am stuck right at the start with loop devices. The manual says to do the following:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/file bs=1k count=100 losetup -e des /dev/loop0 /file Password: <type a password> Init (up to 16 hex digits): This is the part I am stuck on...what hex digits am I supposed to type?? I've tried hitting return and typing randomly......I can't find anything in the man pages or the kernel src docs. Anyone know what I should type please? Thanks, Steve
