Hello,
im writing a small frontend(in C) for cryptsetup, only init and mount the
volumes, no creation of volumes,
and I would like to know how i can pass the password to the cryptsetup
commando?
Since there is no -P option i cant do it via argv.
I have the frontend working with keyfiles, but when i ask the user to enter
a password I dont know how to programm this option. When i start my frontend
i get password request on the shell where i stared it.
I found out that pmount has a --passphrase option, but i couldnt get it to
work when i use the udi
shown with hal-devices:
12: udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_58302c48_74e1_4c94_a6bf_4b7809e8cb7c'
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto.method_execpaths = {
'hal-luks-setup', 'hal-luks-teardown' } (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto.method_signatures = { 's', '' }
(string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto.method_names = { 'Setup',
'Teardown' } (string list)
info.interfaces = { 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto' } (string
list)
info.udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_58302c48_74e1_4c94_a6bf_4b7809e8cb7c'
(string)
volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type = 131 (0x83) (int)
info.product = 'Volume (crypto_LUKS)' (string)
....
linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/block/hdb/hdb1' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/block/hdb/hdb1' (string)
they are alls setup with LUKS.
so how should i continue?
thx for your help
