Hi guys,
I have the following problem: There's a remote machine with encrypted /home and /swap. During bootup it asks for the passwords - but the machine should be able to startup remotely.
So options are
- Buy a console server :(
- Get the network service starting earlier and redirect the bootconsole to ssh (How?)
- Get the machine booted without /home and /swap, access it via ssh/vnc and mount those. (How?)
How can I achieve this? Are there any other options?
I don't know if it is possible, but you can have a look at the script that sets it up (/etc/init.d/boot.crypto) and see if you can hack it up. The network is started much later... maybe you should mount home and swap also later. Shh? No idea. Perhaps... ssh as root once the system is booted, and activate the crypto partitions manually from there. That seems the best way to me. Console server? You can set up two machines on a dual setup, one will act as console server for the other; but then, the password can be easily sniffed by any one there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
