The Debian kernels in Woody have neither cryptoloop nor cryptoapi support. The cryptoapi (the cipher modules like blowfish and the cryptoapi module) can be built outside of the Kernel. If you want to use cryptoloop support, you have to patch at least the source for the loop module and recompile it. Maybe you have to recompile the kernel, you can probably look this up in the documentation on <http://www.kerneli.org>. This is what the cryptoloop patch does, but I think it does only work with the Kernel version the patch was made for. I also haven't tried to use the cryptoapi with the precompiled Debian Kernel, I use a self compiled 2.4.23 Kernel with the cryptoapi from kerneli.org. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
