I assume it's not hardcoded. > cryptsetup 1.4.3 and 1.5.o-rc1 seem to have a typo in ./configure --help in the key size options both read: --with-keyfile-size-maxkb default maximum keyfile size (in kilobytes) [8192] --with-passphrase-size-max default maximum keyfile size (in kilobytes) [512] the explanation for passphrase size is talking about keyfile, not passphrase. It also seem to suggest the max passphrase length is 512000 bytes( characters) while cryptsetup --help says its 512 characters. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
