[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#421693: timeout option does not work with keyscript/key-file

[Alexander Zangerl]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.4+svn26-2
Severity: normal

The timeout option has no effect if keyscript/key-file are used,
because line 252 in lib/setup.c directly uses read() on the file 
descriptor. 

There is a timed_read() function which is used for 
interactive passphrase entry, and it seems to me that it's feasible
to use that instead of a direct read.
