O.k. this worked so far. Now it's all compiled pretty much after the
description in the README file of loop-aes. Now i created a container with

dd if=/dev/zero of=bea1 bs=60k count=1280

as user in a certein directory.

switched to root and did:

losetup -e AES256 -T /dev/loop1 ./bea1

and got:

Passwort:
Retype password:
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Das Argument ist ungültig (invalid argument)

Thus i'm back to my first problem ...

What now? In 2002 there was a similar question for cryptoapi on this list.
The answer was that in /proc/crypto the cipher was not found and has to be
installed. Well, /proc/crypto doesn't exist here. It needs something else. Any
idea?

Thanx for helping me

Bea
