This is the critical ambiguity in all the cryptsetup documents (and the error message): If I'm adding a NEW password, in what sense can it be an existing one? Existing where? Let's say, for instance, that I'm setting up an encrypted home directory for user "john." I set it up initially with john's login password with the eventual intention of using pam_mount with john's login password. But, I want to add root's password as well, just in case. What do I do for this password to "exist" somewhere so I can attach it to this partition? --------------------------------------------------------------------- - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
