Hi there, Last week, i asked a question on this list without getting a reply. I am not quite sure what the reason is. The answer may be very obvious or i did not make myself clear. I'll try to ask the question again in other words, hoping to make myself understood this time: I am doing an automatic setup via FAI and try to get disk encryption from the very start. My plan is to set up the machine with a throwaway key and then ask the user at the very end to provide a password to unlock the disk in the future. My problem is, that once set up with a keyfile, i can not figure out how to add a password key to a luks enabled partition. Starting with a password and adding a keyfile works fine. But starting with a keyfile i can not add a password afterwards Now maybe i simply did not grasp the concept and thus the right command line option (likely) or it is conceptually impossible. If so, please tell me why and possibly point me to a better way to set things up. I am aware that this question may have been answered elsewhere. I have browsed the mailinglist archive though, but i did not find a solution. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.dm-crypt/1881 treats a similar problem, but it is not quite the same. Other online tutorials and howtos did not cover the problem. At least not those i have read and i have read a couple of them until i got cryptsetup working with FAI. If you understand cryptsetup, i would really appreciate your two cents worth of thought. The success of this debian gnu/linux project in an enterprise setting depends quite a bit on an effective use of an encrypted harddisk. best regards, Christian Folini -- Christian Folini Informationstechnologie 222 Apache and Linux Desktop Engineering Tel. 031 338 35 24 christian.folini@xxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- dm-crypt mailing list - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
