Description Martin "Matt" Wolf 2005-09-10 04:24:15 UTC 
In order to use dm-crypt you need the tool cryptsetup. SuSE 9.3 still had at  
least the old shell script version of it included. Now, in SuSE 10 (beta 4), 
it is completely missing.  
  
The standard SuSE disk / partition encryption does not allow to encrypt the  
swap disk. Cryptsetup does make that possible.  
  
A professional business notebook with the business data in an encrypted  
partition, but no encryption of temp and swap, that is doing just half of the  
job. cryptsetup does make swap encryption possible and working, running here ~  
6 months on 2 production notebooks.

Thomas, do you know who maintains this?
Comment 2 Arvin Schnell 2005-09-13 08:51:45 UTC 
In cryptsetup 9.3 was included in the package util-linux.  For 10.0 it
was split of into util-linux-crypto.

So everything is fine, right?
Comment 3 Mads Martin Joergensen 2005-09-13 09:03:46 UTC 
Yep, just install util-linux-crypto.
