Hi,
I experienced some troubles recently with Debian's cryptsetup package
(testing version), which version is 1.6.6.
I found out that empty key files get refused by cryptsetup, for example:
cat empty_file | cryptsetup --debug --key-file=- open --type plain
/test1.loop test1
gets rejected.
The debug output directly leads to a test in utils_crypt.c that, I
think, should be removed.
Indeed, empty passwords are accepted, so it make sense to accept also
empty inputs.
Especially in Debian, where cryptdisks_start script calls:
/lib/cryptsetup/askpass | cryptsetup --key-file=- open --type [type]
[src] [dst]
What do you think about this issue?
Shall I send a patch for that?
Best regards,
Quentin
PS: I checked against the git version, the problem is not solved and
actually exactly the same.
