Hi, I just have a short question: is DES3 crypto still working/supported ? aes and twofish (for example) works fine.... I use the latest patch with 2.4.16 kernel (patch-int-2.4.16.2), latest patch of util-linux... But with des3, I have the (classical) error: [root@]# losetup -e des-ede3 /dev/loop0 initrd.img Mot de passe : The cipher does not exist, or a cipher module needs to be loaded into the kernel ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Paramètre invalide All needed modules are inserted... Pierre Note: for loop patch (hvr and jari), what are the differences between the both patch ? And which one do you recommand to use ? - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
