Hi all,
I have my root, swap and home partitions encrypted with LUKS as described in http://en.opensuse.org/Encrypted_Root_File_System and it works great on openSUSE 10.3.
When I fire up my computer, I have to enter three passphrases to decrypt the three partitions. This is of course unavoidable for the root partition but it should be possible to use keys stored on this partition to decrypt the swap and home partitions and thus to avoid entering two more passphrases.
I tried to accomplish this for the swap partition by dd if=/dev/random of=/etc/keys/swap.key bs=1 count=256 cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda6 /etc/keys/swap.key and then putting the follwing line in /etc/crypttab: swap /dev/sda6 /etc/keys/swap.key luks but at boot time, the systems keeps asking for three passphrases.
Am I overlooking something?

Paul.
