wait, you gave me some more courage to play with the popen command, and i got it working now, so much simpler than i thought :(. Ive been stuck for 3 days with this... void init_password_callback(GtkWidget *dialog, gint response, char *dev_mapper){ char* passphrase = NULL; if (response == GTK_RESPONSE_OK) passphrase = gksuui_dialog_get_password(GTK_WIDGET(dialog)); if (!passphrase) g_print("kein Password"); gtk_widget_destroy(GTK_WIDGET(dialog)); // g_print("PASS: %s", passphrase); gchar pw[512]; gchar init_pw[512]; sprintf(init_pw, "/sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen %s", dev_mapper); // g_print("ARGV_3: %s",init_pw); FILE *fp = popen(init_pw, "w"); if (fp) { fprintf(fp, "%s\n", passphrase); } fclose(fp); return; } thx a lot rupert On 8/13/06, rupert <rupertt@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
