List,
I am not subscribed so please CC or address any responses to me directly. Thanks.
I was succesfully using the des patch found at ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/BETA/loop/des.1.tar.gz to get encrypted file systems using the loopback block device with 2.0.X kernels.(This patch isn't as direct an installation as it says) I never got around to trying it with 2.1.X kernels.
I recently acquired 2.2.X kernels and noticed that the loopback block device has gone through a few revisions. The above des patch obviously won't work. It looks like the thing now supports many more types of encryption. The problem is there is nothing indicating where to find the files to use those types of encryption. They don't seem to come with the kernel. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Daniel Zahn stumpy@religions.com
