Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.6~pre1+svn45-1 Followup-For: Bug #471729
Sorry for not answering sooner, something must have eaten your mail. LUKS supports more than one key. Usually I'd like to use a custom key script that can f. ex. get the key off a usb stick so I don't have to connect a keyboard and monitor for regular reboots but just need to plug in the stick. That usb key might however get lost or break and in that case I'd like to still be able to boot the box, even if I have to connect a keyboard and monitor then, by inputting ANOTHER key locally that's generated from a regular passphrase. As for implementing the fallback in the keyscript, that isn't as easy as it sounds ... or at least I haven't been able to grasp the various input / output / ... redirections yet that go on around a keyscript. Any attempt to read from stdin results in 'invalid file descriptor', when the keyscript is called from cryptdisks_start.
