Ah. I think I objected that in one of my previous mails while still not correctly fixing it. > I don't know whether it is wise to use one and the same option to > crypttab for two different features. What about some ROOTTRIES option to > the cryptroot conffile instead? David, could you comment on this? To be honest: I don't really care as long as it is documented and usable. Please just make it work. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
