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#Crea te_an_encrypted_swap_partition 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.

Thanks again Jan, doing it step by step as explained in the page you mentioned and ignoring the note "This doesn't appear to work in openSUSE 10.3..." : http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:Encrypted_Root_File_System_with_SUSE_HOWTO#Creat... (and *not* where I looked first: http://en.opensuse.org/Encrypted_Root_File_System_with_SUSE_HOWTO ) It just works fine now. swap is encrypted and running and I am not asked for a password at boot. No warning messages seen during boot or later in in /var/log/boot.msg or /var/log/messages. regards Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com erotic art photos: http://www.bauer-nudes.com/en/linux.html Madagascar special: http://www.fotograf-basel.ch/madagascar/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
