cryptsetup-luks in Fedora Core 5

[techmum]

I read somewhere that there are plans to make LUKS really easy to use in FC5.

Anyone know any more details on using in FC5 versus what was required in FC4 LUKS in FC4 ?

I think that the FC5 addition regarding LUKS partitions is that the encrypted removable volumes are automatically recognized and mounted by HAL/gnome-volume-manager.

I don't know if there are any LUKS tools included in FC5 (look for luksformat), but the procedure to create a LUKS encrypted volume I describe there shouldn't be difficult. If you are talking about features like user-friendly creation of LUKS encrypted home partitions, I read somewhere that there are thoughts that this will be an addition to FC6.
