So I am more than happy to see people band together and improve gbde. The main work necessary is to polish the userland program and that is relatively trivial programming, so anyone should be able to pick that up: just go for it. Giving gbde a taste function so that the root filesystem can be protected by GBDE, this is also OK by me in principle, but I'd like to review the patch before it gets committed because there are a large number of dragons. In P4:phk_gbde there is the beginning of hw-crypto support through opencrypto(9), if somebody wants to work on that, get in touch with me. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
