you need to build your kernel with crypto extensions (you've already done that) and also you need to build losetup with crypto extensions. i have not actually done that, didn't care to, and mandrake already has crypto built in (no blowfish though, but aes is good enough for me). but the FAQ: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Loopback-Encrypted-Filesystem-HOWTO.html#s3 and go to item #5. says that the package to download and patch is util-linux. the patch is in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/crypto (of course change that to wherever your actual kernel is). but I don't find a crypto directory anywhere in my kernels (both vanilla and mandrake kernel-source). if you find the right place, maybe you could post a follow up here and send an update to the FAQ maintainer :). tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Why be difficult when, with a bit of effort, you could be impossible? -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
