howto remote unlock encrypted root fs
I have a Gurplug running Wheezy from a usb harddrive with an encrypted
root fs. No problems there. I am trying to get remote unlocking set up as
described in /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.remote.gz. Everything seems
to be working as described except dropbear will not accept publickey
authentication and ask for a password. The authorized_keys file contains
public keys that I know work. I read a bug report that plymouth was a
culpret causing this problem but I have no plymouth nor can I find it.
Maybe that is the problem. Here is the attempted login transcript
