Heh, because I didn't know about it! Thanks, this looks like the
cleanest solution.
How do I use this script? If I interpret the source correctly, I should
just set
gbde_devices-auto="AUTO"
in /etc/rc.conf and enter my encrypted partition in the fstab?
Dummy question: Where should I look to find documentation about scripts
like this? I haven't found it mentioned in either the handbook or the
manpages.
BTW, I use 5.4.
