Using Crypto under LM8+2.4.6

["IT3 Stuart B. Tener, USNR-R" <stuart@bh90210.net>]

To whom it shall concern:

dd if=/dev/urandom of=test count=5000
losetup -e blowfish /dev/loop0 ./test (I also tried "AES", that failed too)
I enter 128, and the password "123" (just for testing, I know better)

I get the following error message:

The cipher does not exist, or a cipher module needs to be loaded into the
kernel ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument

I went into the /lib/modules/kernel/crypto directory and did an insmod on
every ".o" file in there, still get the above message!

I also patched util-linux-2.11g using the util-linux-2.11b patch (and yes it
seemed to have worked okay). I built and installed the entire package.

As well, perhaps someone can help me: I am not so conversant on using
/etc/modules.conf;

I would like these modules to get loaded automatically when needed as well,
I have a modem driver, which I want to do the same, cant get that to work
either (ltmodem, for using "linmodems")


Very Respectfully,
