I finally got time to get bestcrypt 1.6 compiled for the 2.4.20 kernel, and it seems to work.
It has run into one problem though ... no /sbin/mkfs. bctool makes the container file, but can't format it. The various other mkfs files, mkfs.msdos, mkfs.ext2 etc are there, but its stuck without plain old mkfs. Anyone any suggestions? Cheers, Mike. |

This post doesn't list mkfs as part of native coreutils, but perhaps it was an over sight? Worth looking into.. http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?act=S...ndpost&p=116146 |

Well, no matter. I created a Bestcrypt container on my desktop machine and copied it to the Z. Works well! So this'll have to do until I can find an answer to the mkfs problem.
If anyone wants to put the attached ipk on the pdaxrom contrib site, please do. Cheers, Mike.

Some time ago, I remember building bestcrypt for 2.4.20, and I was patching the code to work without /sbin/mkfs.
CODE root@zaurus:/tmp$ bctool new test -a des -s 10M Enter password: Verify password: Please do not forget to format the container root@zaurus:/tmp$ bctool format test -t ext3 Enter password: mke2fs 1.34 (25-Jul-2003) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=1024 (log=0) Fragment size=1024 (log=0) 2560 inodes, 10240 blocks 512 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=1 2 block groups 8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group 1280 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 8193 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (1024 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 27 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. root@zaurus:/tmp$ that's my package: http://z.drun.net/packages/bestcrypt_1.6.7_armv5tel.ipk it comes with /etc/rc.d/init.d/bcrypt start|stop|restart for automatic loading of the modules. |
