Well, there's only cryptsetup. It does all that's needed, is easy
to use and flexible enough (for me).

Yep. And passphrases are *practically* just as unbreakable - if

How? What's hard about it? You just encrypt the block device and create an fs on it. /sbin/lvcreate -nToBeEnc -L5g sys \ && echo 'sekret' | /bin/cryptsetup create Crypted /dev/sys/ToBeEnc \ && mkfs -t reiser4 /dev/mapper/Crypted \ && mount /dev/mapper/Crypted /some/where Obviously, the lvcreate and mkfs steps are just a one time step :) > and less 'flexible' than loop-AES (the changing > passphrase thing, for example).

Bullocks. With enough time, "key-encrypted" stuff can be broken into as well. Brute forcing is (theoretically) *ALWAYS* possible. So, if you make the password "random" enough, there's no risk. A few hundred chars should be sufficient - since you can easily pipe the passphrase to cryptsetup (and thus don't need to type it in manually), that's not a real problem.

If so, could be a number of things. First if you're using the tar file (specified in /etc/conf.d/rc) the /dev node might be disappearing (to fix I think you need to remake the dev node and rebuild the tar file). Other problems here with udev is the lack of an appropriate rule for the device creation... Other possibilities are that if you're using kernel mods for the ppp support, I know my devices don't get created until the module has been loaded (at which point the devices appear). You might have some module issues on your end. Sorry can't be of more help... Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I am in quite the same situation. I have an AMD 1700+, 1 gig ram, as TV-out. As a window manager I´m running xfce 4. It does not eat memory and it worked fine with both 256 and 512 meg ram. As player I´m useing kmplayer with support for both mplayer and xine so I can use both engines. Works perfect. Though I do not have any experience of MythTV, I´ve recon I don´t need it as my video card only have TV-out. The only problem I had was the infamous blue borders when playing movies in fullscreen, but putting this '/usr/bin/xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 66048' in .xinitrc did the trick.

I agree you don't need that much security, but no, you are not the only one paranoid ;-) I do not think howevere that any agency would spend more than 2 days trying to hack your computer without literally trying to force it out of you. If it's more serious than that, then I guess they suspect you of having all the plans /addresses of the taliban on your comp ;-) Then you're on your own, lol. Either way, with plain old AES it's a matter of brute-force, and with dm-crypt the choice is up to you what hashing you use. What I mean with hashing is that your PW is send though a hash. The password "passwd" becomes "kæ?&GòÝ3e.!+1´¦G·Áç.??ñÓû" (in plain ASCII through a sha256 bit system used by dm-crypt). Of couse it's more compicated than that, but try getting just that password (the ascii version) with just plain text ;-) ... See you next century. To give you an example: in Holland they can give you a maximum of 3 months jail sentence for something you refuse to co-operate on .. IE: the password to your filesystem. If you think the contents are worth more then 3 months jail sentence keep your mouth shut, else just tell them. They won't crack your system even if you use 265kbit encryption. Take the .. ummm what was it called... something with a cow-logo... it was like [EMAIL PROTECTED], they solved it, using thousands of computers all over the world, and it took quite some time (2 years or so? anyone?). The thing was, it was 56bit encryption ;-) 256bit is a little (actually a LOT) more. > I'd like this: home to be encripted in a way that can be mounted thru fstab > asking the passphrase at mount-time, with the posibility to change the > password easily.

What about dm-crypt ? is the passphrase > changeable ? I believe with loop-AES, yes, but not with dm-crypt .. at least not yet. They are working on this, but I don't know how far they are. The thing is, does it need to be changed? This is for home use right? You are your spouce know the password, but how many others? A password of this measure does (IMHO) not need to be changes often at all, unless sent over an uncrypted line often. As I believe I mentioned in my previous post (beer has gotten hold of me) I mough my partitions with a bash script. It just has a list of the commands (with some error-correction) saves as an executable file. Let's call it "secdrive" ... all I say is `secdrive on` and it mounts it, asking for the password, and `secdrive off` umounting it. Pretty much the same way as fstab, except no trace of it there, and what can't be seen there isn't notived even (at least until "they" search your .bash_history files etc).

[gentoo-user] Emerge messages.
Hi, * Did you ever wonder how to see the emerge messages after emerge has completed its tasks? During emerge/update of most packages there are some messages displayed that should not be missed. But sitting in front of the console for 40 hours (well, usually less) is not a nice solution. My question is: is portage saving those messages somewhere? I have the feeling that I miss some important things all the time, because sometimes I manage to read some of the messages and they seem VERY important (e.g. additional steps one needs to take after emerging). Dumping all the emerge output to file and searching for the messages does not seem promising too... Also checking which packages were updated and browsing theirs ebuilds is not very elegant.

I didn't mean to use gpg to encrypt the whole file system, that would be insane. I mean that instead of using a password te encript, to use a generated key, which is stronger and to encrypt that key with a password (and keep it on a remobable media). But now that I think of it, I don't need that much security (Am I the only one that when reading about security gets paranoid ?). I'd like this: home to be encripted in a way that can be mounted thru fstab asking the passphrase at mount-time, with the posibility to change the password easily. I think that can be achieved by using a key and encripting the key on cryptoloop, or it is simpler on loop-AES, because the passphrase con be changed easily, right ? What about dm-crypt ? is the passphrase changeable ? Thanks. -- Pupeno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (http://pupeno.com) Reading ?

[gentoo-user] jpeg-mmx-0.1.6 ebuild problem
Howdy,
Anyone else getting the following error on jpeg-mmx-0.1.6?
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--include-dir=/usr/include/jpeg-mmx --enable-shared --enable-static
configure: error: --include-dir=/usr/include/jpeg-mmx: invalid option;
use --help to show usage
doing a configure --help gives:
--includedir=DIRC header files in DIR [PREFIX/include]
Looks like the ebuild is using "include-dir" instead of "includedir":
src_compile() {
econf \
--include-dir=/usr/include/jpeg-mmx \
--enable-shared \
--enable-static \
|| die "configure failed"
emake || die "make failed"
}
Did not see a bug for this.
TIA,
