I'd like to have an encrypted swap partition, but without asking me for a password when booting.
I tried two different approaches:

You should use a random key. Go to the article's Talk-Page: http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:Encrypted_Root_File_System_with_SUSE_HOWTO#Creat... However, there seems to be some problems with 10.3, thus, please read the following sections of the above mentioned article and the bug report mentioned there, too.
There is no problem in having auto-keyed encrypted swap in 10.3, I have it on all partitions. Just set it up in /etc/crypttab:
swap1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-fooobar-part1 /dev/urandom swap
I installed openSUSE 10.3 from the DVD last November, and it had an option to encrypt both home and swap during the installation process. Post installation, the swap partition does not ask for a password (home does). I encrypted both home and swap (root is still unencrypted).
