*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug by Marc Deslauriers
(mdeslaur):
In Ubuntu 10.04, I formatted and encrypted a USB key with the Disk
Utility 2.30.1 GUI. When I insert this USB key into 10.04 and set the
option Forget password immediately, it is remembered thereafter for all
future uses.
In Ubuntu 10.10, upon inserting the above key formatted and encrypted in
10.04, this option is NOT remembered. You always get the default:
Remember password until you logout. This could be a potential security
vulnerability.
