Yes, these instructions worked well for me too.

I had not tried to encrypt swap.  Except for highly secure systems, it
did not seem important to me.  I, of course, could be wrong.

I didn't notice in the luksopen information anything written about boot
time prompts for the passphrase.  If you place /sbin/luksopen in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local (after ensuring luksopen is in /sbin), does the boot
process pause and prompt for a passphrase automatically?  I saw the
luksopen script, but I was hesitant to place it in rc.local because I
thought that 'cryptsetup luksClose' needed to be executed before
shutting down, and I didn't see how that would happen.  Any thoughts on
that?
