Subject: 2.4 and cryptoloop

I see that recent 2.4 has crypto. Is there a version of the tools which
will do cryptoloop using the kernel as released? I tried the old 2.4
version I had, and the latest version which works with 2.6, neither
worked to do an losetup.

Yes, I know about the add-in support, I'm just wondering if the recent
kernel. say 2.4.22-ac4, has the capability if I ask it nicely. I'd like
to share data already in use with aes under 2.6.0-testX.

losetup from util-linux 2.12 should work.

Hum, I tried that which I built on July 29, that might have been a pre
or something (I'm looking at the mod date on the directory). I'll check
and see what I find, thanks for input.

Actually, I think that version was built under 2.6.0-test4 (or so),
perhaps I have to rebuild under 2.4 and have separate 2.4 and 2.6
versions? Anyway, I'll look more since it should work.
