Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-6
Severity: wishlist
I) Right now we have on case (AFAIK) where no keyscripts are used:
When "none" is specified in crypttab and only a password is used as key
II) If bug #509072 will be fixed, we'd miss our current "passdev-keyscript"
III) If bug #509071 will be fixed, we'd neet tries support for this
"none"-case.
How to solve all of this?
I'd suggest the following:
1) For every decryption (even in the "none"-case") a keyscript is used.
2) Create a new keyscript which implements tries, and uses/supports
passdev and uses just askpass for password reading, but nothing else
like (gpg or ssl or whatever).
That way we'd solve II and III (for I we don't have to solve anything
XD) and even add fancy usplash/splashy support for the "none"-case via
askpass support for those.
Chris.

hello,
as well an invalid feature request in my eyes.
the only case that doesn't use keyscripts at the moment is when a
keyfile is given and no keyscript is defined. i don't see any reason why
a keyfile should be used in that case. it neither would speed up nor
simplify code, instead it would add more dependencies and clutter
initramfs even more to no extend.
greetings,
jonas
