Not directly related to Mandrake init scripts, but next version of loop-AES
will setup encrypted swap _without_ changes to init scripts. All user needs
to do is to add "loop=/dev/loop?" and "encryption=AES128" options to swap
lines in /etc/fstab and "swapon -a" and "swapoff -a" will take care of all
encrypted swap setup work.
Example of /etc/fstab line:
/dev/hda666 none swap sw,loop=/dev/loop6,encryption=AES128 0 0

I have attached new util-linux patches if someone wants to try them.
Compile and install like this:
bzip2 -d -c util-linux-2.11o.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
cd util-linux-2.11o
patch -p1 <../util-linux-2.11o-1.diff
patch -p1 <../util-linux-2.11o-2.diff
./configure
make SUBDIRS="lib mount"
cd mount
install -m 4755 -o root mount umount /bin
install -m 755 losetup swapon /sbin
rm -f /sbin/swapoff && ( cd /sbin && ln -s swapon swapoff )
rm -f /usr/man/man8/{mount,umount,losetup,swapon,swapoff}.8.gz
install -m 644 mount.8 umount.8 losetup.8 swapon.8 swapoff.8 /usr/man/man8
rm -f /usr/man/man5/fstab.5.gz
install -m 644 fstab.5 /usr/man/man5
