If you pipe it to cryptsetup as passphrase, this marks the end of your passphrase while if you feed it as key-file it becomes part of your key. So, just for your curiosity - try to remove trailing line-feeds etc. and see how it works then as key-file. regards Mario -- I've never been certain whether the moral of the Icarus story should only be, as is generally accepted, "Don't try to fly too high," or whether it might also be thought of as, "Forget the wax and feathers and do a better job on the wings." -- Stanley Kubrick --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
