Hi all,
I know that this has been reported here for Debian (last month by Dick
Middleton), but wanted to give a heads up to those running on FC5, which
I now am.
The current RPM on FC5 is:
cryptsetup-luks-1.0.3-0.rc2
The return code for the function is fixed at 0, which will cause
problems when testing for a bad passphrase, such as for those using the
'luksopen' script from the wiki.
For example:
# /sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 sda1 ; echo "RETURNCODE: $?"
Enter LUKS passphrase:
Command failed: No key available with this passphrase.
RETURNCODE: 0
As a result, the test in the luksopen script:
j=3
while [ "$j" -gt 0 ] && ! cryptsetup luksOpen "$dev" "$map" ; do
let "--j"
done
will actually pass on the first failed passphrase attempt and not cycle
to re-try, proceeding to the next device in the main loop.
A bugzilla report has been filed previously on this for luksClose and I
added my $0.02:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194434
I do not see an updated RPM for FC5 in the testing update repos as of yet.
HTH,
Marc Schwartz
