I've been told that it was mostly excluded because the pristine source doesn't include cryptoloop and nobody had expressed much interest in the CryptoAPI. I patched it into 2.4.24 a while back, but I've misplaced my patch. You may be able to find it in the uml-devel archives. Basically I just did the following: - Apply a cryptoloop patch (I forget if I was using cryptoloop-jari or cryptoloop-hvr, it was whichever was larger at the time because the smaller one didn't behave well with encrypted swap). - Apply a UML patch. - Alter the arch/um config files to include the CryptoAPI and cryptoloop config options. It seemed to work quite well at the time. If you're not in any rush and don't want to do it yourself, e-mail me back. I'll probably be getting back to UML in a more serious way in a couple of weeks, at which point I'll do something similar for 2.4.25 (or whatever the latest 2.4 kernel with a stable UML patch is at the time). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
