Upon testing: [root@moo etc]# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/test-aes bs=1024K count=5 5+0 records in 5+0 records out [root@moo etc]# losetup -e aes /dev/loop1 /etc/test-aes Password: Error: Password must be at least 20 characters. [root@moo etc]# losetup -e aes /dev/loop1 /etc/test-aes Password: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument So I 'rpmbuild --recompile'd the .src.rpm package, and got the same error. This is where I'm at now. System is RH9 w/ kernel 2.4.20-20.9 & Ximian2 desktop. Will reboot into 2.4.20-8 and try it there. Also, I'm kind of curious about the 20 character password requirement, which sort of defeats the purpose of feeding the password directly into AES. It wasn't like that before. Thanks for all your work so far. -- Take care, Kitty
