Hi, I'm new to this list, and to encryption. I have my /home partition encrypted, and have created two luks key slots. Slot 0 takes input from the keyboard, and slot 1 was created with something like the following line: # cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda3 /media/disk/datafile Datafile contains a line of text which is intended to be an alternative to decrypt the /home partition. The USB stick is listed in fstab above the entry for /dev/sda3 and is mounted by LABEL to /media/disk. It does mount at boot time, but I always have to enter the passphrase (key slot 0) manually. What else do I need to do to be able to boot my machine, with the USB stick inserted, and not have to enter the passphrase in key slot 0 manually each time? -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.0, Kernel 2.6.25.11-0.1-default, KDE 4.1.2 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
