OK, installed the above, (rpm -e'd the old mount/losetup pkgs), and they
seemed good so far. 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.
