The > table can e.g. be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII These suggestions also highly depends on environment (e.g. keyboard map). (An example of local problem is if using Czech/English keyboard switch ("password1234 is not password+ěšč") or with qwerty/qwertz layout and suggestions like "try to not use y/z in passphrase to avoid the problem". Another common problem is "please check that you have NumLock switched on when entering digits". Of course, 5 of 4 admins likes late night calls from users crying "my password doesn't work!"... :-) That said, there is no limitation in cryptsetup or dmcrypt regarding input character set. All these suggestions are quite generic and are intended to prevent problem with different environments (locales, keyboard layout etc). (My suggestion is better use longer non-dictionary ascii-friendly passphrase than using non-ascii characters in it. But if you disagree, just ignore this suggestion - it will work.... until you need to unlock external drive on system with foreign keyboard and locales... :-) Milan _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
