The kernel I am running is the vanilla fedora 16 release kernel-3.3.4-3.fc16.i686.
So, I turned tcsd off.
Is this service enabled by default even though the machine has no tpm device?
Thanx for the heads up.
Well, if you install the trousers package that service is installed and defaults to
on. Since you don't have any TPM hardware there is no need to have it installed.
I've never have seen it installed by default on any of my systems.
So....it isn't needed. While is doesn't hard anything....you may want to remove it
just to have one less unnecessary app installed.
The same goes for uuidd.
I don't know if you use akmods....but if you use that for your nvidia driver updates
from rpmfusion...you may need/want it.
Unfortunately, ecryptfs-utils-96-1.fc16.i686 requires libtspi.so.1
# rpm -qv --whatprovides /usr/lib/libtspi.so.1
trousers-0.3.6-1.fc16.i686
I need to use the ecryptfs tools, which is not restricted tp tpm devices.
To wit: excerpt from /usr/share/doc/ecryptfs-utils-96/README:
"In general, it is probably best to just type in your passphrase via
stdin every time you need to perform a mount. Future versions of
eCryptfs will allow hardware token devices, such as a TPM chip, to
protect your secret keys."
