Hi all, I've just given 8.2 a spin after being a lifelong RedHat user, and I love Mandrake - it's got some great features and is a very progressive distribution.
One of the most interesting features to me in this release is the filesystem encryption, which is working great on my laptop. I'd like to learn more about how Mandrake implements this. Could anyone answer the following questions? - What packages are needed for the encrypted fs support? - Where are the encryption keys stored? - Is the stock kernel specially patched with the kerneli.org patches? - Can anyone point me to some good documentation about the method of filesystem encryption that Mandrake 8.2 uses? (not the encryption algorithm, but how to configure and administer it) One of my intentions is to move the encryption keys onto a floppy, so that a floppy disk would also need to be mounted to read the encrypted fs. I'm guessing that moving the keys onto the floppy and then symlinking them to /mnt/floppy should do the trick, if it's as straightforward as I hope. Thanks a bunch, Scott -- Scott A.
