This is unlikely to be added to Fedora 14 at this time, simply because this functionality has moved in Fedora 15 to the systemd package, and therefore it would be a one-off change for future Fedora releases.

Ah, OK, not personally too bothered if all I have to do is wait for F15. I can live with my hacky solution till then. So do you mean that pretty much this exact thing is being included in F15 systemd? James I *think* so... moving over to systemd for clarification. In F15 you can use "timeout=5min" as option in crypttab to make sure we timeout the password entry eventually. This feature is nice, but not documented. I searched in crypttab(5), systemd-ask-password(1), systemd.mount(5). It didn't use to timeout, and I liked it this way. Now I had to go dig into the source code ( http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/src/cryptsetup.c?id=v26#n106 ) to understand how it worked, and change the (new) default behavior to the one I preferred. |
