[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#691517: cryptsetup: reports insecure mode for key when it's a symlink to a file with proper permissions

[intrigeri at debian.org]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.4.3-2
Severity: minor

I'm told:

$ sudo cryptdisks_start whatever_crypt
[....] Starting crypto disk...[....] whatever_crypt: INSECURE MODE FOR
/etc/keys/whatever, see /usr/share/doc/cr[warntup/README.Debian. ...
(warning).

... while /etc/keys/whatever is a symlink to a file that has 0600
permissions, and is owned by root:root.

This is a bit annoying, but does not prevent using this
encrypted volume.
