Bug#296464: initrd-tools: Asks for a password phrase for crypted disks with r andom keys
Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.77
Severity: important
At the moment I use only crypted swap space with keys read from
/dev/random.
mkinitrd creates an initial ramdisk, which ask my for a password to
start the crypted device. But this password should read from
/dev/random.
There is also a second problem thru the early initializing of the crypt
device for the swap space. /etc/init.d/cryptdisk (package> cryptsetup)
find a running crypt device and don't call mkswap and the system runs
without swapspace.
-- /etc/crypttab
# <target device> <source device> <key file> <options>
cs1 /dev/hda2 /dev/random swap
