[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#502772: cryptsetup: gnome autologin user should depend on boot passsword

[Daniel Müller]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.4+svn26-1
Severity: wishlist


If a linux PC is protected by luks hard disk encryption, you have to type
two passwords: the luks boot password and the user password for the
gnome/kde session. This is sometimes annoying.

A single user could active gnome/kde auto login and type only the boot password. 

If the same computer is used by more than one user, this is not possible.

Could luks pass the key slot number or a user name associated with the key
slot number to gdm, so that the auto login user can depend on the boot
password used?
