Thanks to the help received i've done the first running release of the encrypted store backend with Blowfish encryption only. It works with storeio for permanent data and temporary, like a swap partition, with a random generated key. I'm very happy to see that the design of Hurd makes possible to write it in only 12K of code. :-)
To ask the password to the user i've modified the fshelp_start_translator function, to pass the standard input to the translator. I don't think that this is the right way to do it, but it works. Actually the crypt_validate_name function asks for a password, then close standard input and output. This is bugged if the class is called by an interactive program, but i don't know how to do it in another way. Any suggestion? Should i implement a modified settrans to do it? The source code is avaiable at http://www.trek.eu.org/devel/hurd/crypt-trans-0.0.3.tgz To run it you can use the losetup.sh script shell included. Make sure to have the correct LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. thanks & c-ya! 3 http://www.trek.eu.org/ k PGPKey: 7016731A57D4A69B 1A8EE5E90EF2608E (since 1995) _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
