Hi! I'm trying to protect one of my partitions with luks and a gpg protected key: [root@localhost ~]# gpg --quiet --decrypt /mnt/fedorainitrd/rootfs-key.gpg |cryptsetup -v --key-size=256 --key-file=- --cipher=twofish-cbc-essiv:sha256 luksFormat /dev/sda3 Command successful. [root@localhost ~]# gpg --decrypt /mnt/fedorainitrd/rootfs-key.gpg | cryptsetup -v --key-size=256 --cipher=twofish-cbc-essiv:sha256 luksOpen /dev/sda3 root gpg: TWOFISH encrypted data gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase gpg: decryption failed: bad key key slot 0 unlocked. Command successful. [root@localhost ~]# ls /dev/mapper/ control root [root@localhost ~]# As you can see the luksFormat complete successfully (gpg asks for a passphrase and I enter the right one). But when I'm trying to open the newly created luks partition, it opens regardless if I enter the correct or wrong passphrase. What am I missing? Some system info: [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 7 (Moonshine) [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost.local 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 #1 SMP Tue Aug 21 22:36:56 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa |grep luks cryptsetup-luks-1.0.5-4.fc7.1 cryptsetup-luks-devel-1.0.5-4.fc7.1 [root@localhost ~]# Regards /Christoffer --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
