i'm obviously missing something here. could you explain why it is a bad idea to have two files, the key and salt, which would be used to initially mount the regular file, then securely deleted from the host and only re-introduced to the host when decryption/remounting is required.
the whole point of requiring you to type in the password is to require you to type in the password. if that's not possible, just use expect. it is a bad idea to put the password on disk. i mean, come on. in what scenario are you capable of "securely" installing and deleting a file, but not capable of typing a password?
and also, for us luddites, how do you read the password on stdin.
vi vnconfig.c and go from there.
