Now it's all compiled pretty much after the description in the README file of loop-aes. Now i created a container with dd if=/dev/zero of=bea1 bs=60k count=1280 as user in a certein directory. switched to root and did: losetup -e AES256 -T /dev/loop1 ./bea1 and got: Passwort: Retype password: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Das Argument ist ungültig (invalid argument) Thus i'm back to my first problem ... What now? In 2002 there was a similar question for cryptoapi on this list. The answer was that in /proc/crypto the cipher was not found and has to be installed. Well, /proc/crypto doesn't exist here. It needs something else. Any idea? Thanx for helping me Bea -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!
