Hmmm, it's magically appeared :P As far as the stability goes, this is one of my current hang-ups - I've heard about the loopback stuff in 2.4. I want to use 2.4 but I can't use any of my systems without crypto (and hence loopback) since key personal data is stored therein and I don't want to sacrifice stability. > Since the kerneli crypto relies on loop, this would count in favor of > "don't do that yet". Indeed. I wish I could help improve things - I'm not really in the game yet although I want to be and I am working towards that. > BTW: You might want to join linux-crypto@nl.linux.org (majordomo) if > you are interested in kerneli. Indeed I am interested - I've been using it for quite some time - I really don't know why I overlooked that list. jcm mails majordomo...
