Hi all, I've just been having a play with cryptoapi-2.4.7.0. First of all, it seems to work great even on the Cyrix 5x86 100mhz that I tested it on! :P A few minor things which have already been noted like having to manually load the modules. Also, using the AES cipher seems to work fine. I can copy files onto an encrypted loopback file, but when i try to execute perl scripts (as root with all the x bits set) I get permission denied. If I run perl and pass the script as an argument it seems to work. Using the RC5 cipher instead seems to alleviate the problem. (weird) Some details about my test platform are: 2.4.9 kernel and Debian Sid distribution (unstable/dev). And now for a quick q which hopefully isn't a FAQ. Can 2.4.x series kernels be used to boot off an encrypted root fs? If so, how can this be achieved or is there any documentation that could help me here?
