Dear all,
I am looking into the possibility of having an Ubuntu 8.04
installation with an encrypted filesystem.
As it is supported out of the box I managed to get it up and running
in no time. However what I would
really need is the system to boot without prompting for a passphrase.
I just want to prevent someone
from unplugging the hard disk and mounting it on another machine. So
far I have seen that this can
be done with a USB Key with a key file however I do not want to use a
USB Key.
Is there any other way? I know that this would compromise security and
probably kind of beat the purpose
for what I would use LUKS however I want to prevent Joe Average and
not Joe Hacker from reading my disk.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Valerio
