AES should therefore be an alias of Rijndael, not an independent cipher. The insertion of an independent number for AES is a mistake IMHO. > > Currently lomount.c uses LO_CRYPT_FISH2, but that fails, so perhaps I > will try DUMMY... Try to make an alias for Rijndeal instead: in cipher.h: #define CIPHER_RIJNDAEL 16 #define CIPHER_AES CIPHER_RIJNDAEL and in loop.h: #define LO_CRYPT_RIJNDAEL 16 #define LO_CRYPT_AES LO_CRYPT_RIJNDAEL -- Gisle Sælensminde ( gisle@xxxxxxxxx ) With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead.
