hello, cryptsetup doesn't support passphrases longer than 32 characters in case that they are submitted over stdin. if i use the password prompt, longer passphrases are supported indeed, but over stdin not. for example, i use the passphrase "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789" which has 36 characters. if i enter it at # cryptsetup create crypt-test /dev/hdb1 Enter passphrase: it works perfectly. but if i give it over stdin, it is trunkated to 32 characters: # echo "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789" | cryptsetup create crypt-test /dev/hdb1 this bug is documented at http://bugs.debian.org/364529 for ltrace output, see the debian bugreport. does a patch exist, to fix it? ... jonas --------------------------------------------------------------------- - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
