"Carlos E. R."
Anyway, your script is now working well, thank you, Carlos, but itwon't read in the passphrase for unencrypting the hard-drive that boots immediately after the usb stick. I think I need to study the cryptsetup docs.
I'm glad that it works.
About reading the passphrase, I don't know, my setup is different. The script simply mounts the stick, you will have to tell the crypto parts to use it somehow; I can't help you there, sorry.
I'm coming into the thread a bit late, but it seems to me that you can solve this problem by encrypting the volume with a key. Save that key to the USB drive and point to it during the mounting process. You can then choose to protect the key with a "biologically stored" passphrase, or have no passphrase on the key itself. This is essentially what the Security vendors do with USB Smart Cards, etc. It seems to me the only difference is that you're storing the key on a filesystem instead of a "smart card". This shouldn't be too hard to get going since you already have the USB Filesystem side of things working. I hope I didn't just misunderstand what you're trying to accomplish. ~Dale -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
