However, if it is public key encrypted, then you need to specify a directory for gpg keyrings. This is because suid-root mount runs with EUID=root UID=gabriel, and sudo run EUID=root UID=root. The UID is used to locate home directory of the user. Try this one: sudo losetup -e AES256 -K /dev/hdc -G /home/gabriel/.gnupg -o 8192 /dev/loop11 /dev/hdc ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
