Thanks for this. I will give it a try, when I get a chance. It is not really an encryption test, as you put it, so much as it is frustration at not being able to get the extra ciphers to compile. Oh, and Gentoo already patches util-linux with the patch from loop-aes. One big problem that people are experiencing right now it that since the testing version of util-linux got bumped up, the old patch will not work anymore - this has to be fixed upstream, but I doubt they will do so until the new version of util-linux is proven stable. For some reason, the 2.6.24 kernel patch works with the 2.6.25 version of the kernel, probably because the files it changes have not yet changed.
