Dan,
Thanks for the advice.
I gave up on cryptoapi (for now) and tried
loop-AES, which worked . I guess because
the changes are less extensive and the
documentation is more detailed and up to date.
I had some minor problems with the following
script in the README file.
bzip2 -d -c util-linux-2.11r.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
cd util-linux-2.11r
patch -p1 <../util-linux-2.11r-1.diff
patch -p1 <../util-linux-2.11r-2.diff
export CFLAGS=-O2
./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
mandb
cd ../..
The patch commands assume that I started in the
loop-AES-v1.6c directory (so that util-linux-2.11r
is a sub-directory). I hadn't and it wasn't.
On my (Mandrake) system, man files are installed under
/usr/share/man, not /usr/man, and they use .bz2
compression. Also, mandb is unknown.
Thanks,
John Green
