I think you're confused; cryptoloop never was part of rhel3. To the bug reporter, did you intend this to be a request for a new feature of RHEL3? I see that drivers/crypto is in the unsupported modules list, and I don't see any associated code for cryptoloop. Also, I think this might be a dup of bug 128011. Looked at reported 128011. The problem is similar. When I searched for bugs initially, nothing came up on my search. Also looked at other comments sent to me. Did not know I was asking for a new feature. I believe the cryptoloop module was part of older versions of RH Linux, and other versions of Linux. Unsupported means that if I have questions about a feature, you won't help. Unsupported does not necessarily mean that a feature should be taken away then pronounced unsupported. If the feature is not supported in RH Enterprise 3, then our conversation is apparently done. However, if you concider the feature simply missing from the release, then we still have room for discussion. I would, however, like to know the justification for non-support. Security concerns? See "http://lwn.net/Articles/67216/" Sincerely, Stanley Hornyak Senior Unix System Administrator NICHD Unix Support Red Hat Certified Engineer (7.2) Sun Certified Solaris Administrator (Ver 7) Crypto loop would seem like a reasonable feature request. Reassigning to the managers who deal with feature requests ;) Looks like the original ticket I put in, thanks. This bug is filed against RHEL 3, which is in maintenance phase. During the maintenance phase, only security errata and select mission critical bug fixes will be released for enterprise products. Since this bug does not meet that criteria, it is now being closed. For more information of the RHEL errata support policy, please visit: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/ If you feel this bug is indeed mission critical, please contact your support representative. You may be asked to provide detailed information on how this bug is affecting you. |
