[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#469869: cryptsetup: Only prompts for passphrase for root filesystem three times

[Sam Morris]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6~pre1+svn45-1
Severity: wishlist

I often mistype my passphrase when prompted during boot up. If I do so
more than three times, cryptsetup seems to give up, and the boot process
continues--but without a device to mount the root filesystem from, this
seems fairly pointless. It would be nice if it continued to prompt until
I entered my passphrase correctly.
