i'm not sure about that. the cryptsetup prompt is a critical output, it should always appear, even if stdout and stderr are redirected. i think that this is the reason why getpass was used before. david: are you capable of writing a patch that reverts this, and writes the prompt directly to /dev/tty again? maybe STDERR just needs to be changed to /dev/proc/self/fd/0? and stderr is still a better solution than stdout, don't you think so? ... jonas
