This is EXACTLY what I want to avoid. I use passphrase-less keys for some backups already, so I know the procedure. However, I'm trying to benefit from having the ssh session signed with my personal key, and somehow use that when mounting the dm-crypt/LUKS device where I backup my files. There are other people besides me that want to backup their laptops (containing personal data) to the same storage server, and we decided we didn't trust each other to the level where we would grant all our data to whoever knows the passwords. But we're lazy so we want to automate this :) I know there are other acceptable solutions (having the password written in a local file, or typing it every time), but they're not as nice. However, I'll go with one of them until I manage to put together a program that does what I want. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
