Hey Daniel, If at all, your request needs to be implemented in gdm. It's not only out of cryptsetups scope to submit/forward a passphrase, it even would be a grave security hole if it was supported. I cannot imagine a secure implementation for your requested functionality at all. maybe you can do something with libpam-mount. sorry, the wishlist request is not valid for cryptsetup, thus I'm closing the bugreport. greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
