Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1 Followup-For: Bug #502772
reopen 502772 retitle 502772 Associate usernames with passphrases; provide username associated with passphrase used thanks This bug report seems to have gotten closed based on an incorrect interpretation of the original report. Reopening, retitling, and re-requesting. The report makes the reasonable request that since an encrypted filesystem can have multiple passphrases associated with it, those passphrases could have associated usernames. Cryptsetup could then use the passphrase provided to look up the associated username, and provide that username to later phases of the boot process somehow, such as to GDM to allow it to select that username for autologin. Thus, the user would enter their passphrase to decrypt the disk, and not need to subsequently log in with a username and password. That seems like a reasonable request, and it should not impact system security in any way. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
