Severity: wishlist
Please add support for encrypted swap (like OpenBSD). I did it by adding
the following lines to /etc/init.d/mountall.sh:
dd if=/dev/random bs=512 count=1 | tr -d '\0\012\015' | setsid losetup -e
Blowfish /dev/loop/0 /mnt/eswap
mkswap /dev/loop/0
swapon /dev/loop/0
Also to /etc/init.d/umountfs:
swapoff /dev/loop/0
losetup -d /dev/loop/0
There should be obvious checks for /proc/cipher/ directory and /proc/
cipher/blowfish file. 'setsid' above is to fool getpass() in losetup to
not using /dev/tty for input.
