hi all, I've been using the loopback crypto stuff for a while and I'm looking for a secure way of doing this from my user account instead of having to su to call losetup. Does anyone have suggestions / experience with doing this?
I see that you can't just run /sbin/losetup from non-root: $ losetup -e blowfish /dev/loop0 ~/.crypt memlock: Operation not permitted Couldn't lock into memory, exiting. Is there any other permissions that I can set other than the /dev/loop* stuff to allow me to do this from non-root? or do I have to go the suid route? or is this just not a good idea all together? thanks for any comments, -mike
