It's an documented feature of bash: http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/bashref/Redirections.html there is even another way to do the same ;) PLAIN=$(cat /upscript.gpg | gpg --decrypt --no-tty --quiet \ --passphrase-fd 8 8< <(echo "$PASS")) I wonder, why it doesn't work on your system. Perhaps, your script is still executed by dash. > Just for the records, the following works: > Using Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon in its 64-bit version loop-aes: > - encrypts entire /root partition > - encrypts device-backed swap > - starts the machine from removable usb storage device > - does all above with/without partition tables erased there is another useful thing, that is easy to configure: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume suspend-to-disk is possible (of course, the swap parition must be encrypted with the same 65 keys every time) You only need to map the swap-partition to /dev/loopX in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/loopcryptup and add this new device to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume (I haven't tested it with an actual version of ubuntu till now, because I don't need it. In previous releases, you also need to change a line in /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh, if you want to use /dev/loopX instead of UUID,... ) - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
