yes, that's the default. do you suggest to raise this default of three tries? I object against this suggestion, especially for security reasons. > Your proposed solution was to set tries=0 in /etc/crypttab. as far as i know, that does not work. if you need to allow infinitive tries, just set tries to a very big number. > This does not increase the number of password questions at the boot > stage, so it does not solve the problem. (I just verified that using a > qemu test system.) Therefore I am reopening the bug. Anything unclear? why don't you just raise the retries yourself in /etc/crypttab. As mentioned above, infinitive retries are not supported, but you could set tries=9999999, and i doubt that anybody will try to input the password more than 9999999 times. greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
