There is an --extpass option which allows you to run an external program. That program could be just 'cat /mnt/foo/password-file'. There's also a --stdinpass option that reads the password from stdin (limited to 512 bytes), although I haven't used it. I'd try both and see which is more convenient. regards, Valient ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
