Hello, guys,
today I tried to use cryptkeeper in the first time. I created
a new encrypted folder by wizzard, and copied my data into
the folder in Nautilus. Then I umounted the folder. But later,
when I mounted it once again, cryptkeeper said the password
is wrong (though, I 100% know, it's true!).
I've looked into cryptkeeper code and found, it calls encfs
with -S option:
execlp ("encfs", "encfs", "-S", crypt_dir, mount_dir, NULL);
exit (0);
While the password is passed to encfs using pipe in this way:
// paranoid default setup mode
//write (fd[1], "y\n", 2);
//write (fd[1], "y\n", 2);
write (fd[1], "p\n", 2);
write (fd[1], password, strlen (password));
write (fd[1], "\n", 1);
But it seems it's wrong. When I'm executing encfs program
from console
$ encfs -S crypt_dir mount_dir
and I'm passing "p\n", encfs exits and doesn't wait for a password
itself.
I do not know, who is blame, cryptkeeper or encfs, and even nothing
about if the interface above exists ("p\n" before the password).
But decrypting using "p" password works for any encrypted directory,
created using cryptkeeper. This obviously mustn't work such way.
