[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#487245: cryptsetup: tries and tiemout should be passed as arguments to the keyscript

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

In addition to this (if it is granted by the maintainers ;) ) I'd
suggest to extend the meaning of tries and timeout in the manpage:

tries: The number of times a password is asked (when no keyscript is
used) or the number of times the keyscript tries to get the key.
e.g. When I run gpg inside of my keyscript, it should be the number of
times I run gpg (and ask for a password)

timeout: The time a user has to enter a password (when no keyscript is
used) or the time the comeplete keyscript may take (including all stuff
in it like mounting additional filesystems, waiting for password-entry,
and so on).

Agree?

Chris.
