  <title>The cryptographic device driver</title>

  <para>
    The <acronym>cgd</acronym> driver provides functionality which 
    allows you to use disks or partitions for encrypted storage.
    After authentication the encrypted partition is accesible
    using cgd pseudo-devices. The cgd driver provides the following
    encryption algorithms:

        aes-cbc: AES (Rijndael). AES uses a 128 bit blocksize and
	accepts 128, 192 or 256 bit keys.

chap-x

Hi all,

The X chapter still seems to be XFree86 3.x specific. Shouldn't that be
changed? I sent a diff some time ago as a proposal:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-docs/2003/08/15/0000.html

Any thoughts?

With kind regards,
Daniel de Kok

chap-net problem

Hi all,

Did anyone notice that at the end of the chap-net chapter it is not
possible to browse any further, because the "Next" text links to the
bibliography, which is part of chap-net?

With kind regards,
Daniel de Kok

Re: cgd chapter


Daniel,

I don't use cgd (yet) but since we have not
cut the 2.0 release, I certainly cannot think
of any reason why I can't add this to the Guide
now.

	Regards,
		Jay

Hrmm. Wonder if I just plain missed that.
I'll see if I can fetch it.

thx,

Yeah I did, but then it was fixed, now I guess it
is broken again. Let me take care of the other items
you fired off today, then I will peek at this.

thx,

I don't think it ever worked. I looked at the xml guts and
couldn't see why this is happening, my guess is that it is
linking to the bibliography tag for some reason instead of
the next document. So, when I get a moment, I am going to
do as Hubert's comment in the markup suggests and push the
bibliography into an index (as in totally seperate) page.

web documentation patch

    Hello,

I installed an 1.6.1 system and follow
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/current/#updating documentation
to build a -current system.

The attached patch solves the following error:
    mv: rename sys/arch/≤ARCH>/compile/GENERIC/netbsd to \
	//netbsd: No such file or directory

htdocs/guide cleanups

Hi,

 I am working on htdocs/guide cleanups, especially for XML markups
 and the build infrastructure.  

 Here is the latest rendering sample of HTML, split HTML, PostScript,
 and PDF version, see: http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/NetBSD/guide/en/index.html.
 They were generated on a NetBSD box natively, of course.

 The modified guide/ tree is put at http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/guide-hrs.tar.gz,
 including various markup fixes and no content change.  You can do
 "make STYLE_TYPE=dsssl" or "STYLE_TYPE=xsl" to build the HTML version,
 and in addition specify FORMATS="html html-split ps pdf" to build docs
 in other formats.  I would like to commit this, but before that, I would
 like to know your idea about if this sort of changes to the directory
 tree is reasonable or not.

 This change includes OpenJade support (for printable formats), and
 xsltproc support (note that this breaks $NEW_HTDOCS way temporarily,
 but it can be fixed).  Probably it does not lose functionalities
 that were available.

 Any comments are welcome.

Section 6.5, adding users

Section 6.5 looks like it last saw an overhaul back in the 1.4.2
days.  Some text should be added to note that one needs to specify
"-G wheel" if one wants that account to be able to su to root.
Maybe with a footnote that sshd disables remote root logins by
default.  This is usefull if someone is setting up a server thats
tucked into a closet. [#-)

Is the guide tracked via PRs?  No category jumped out at me using
the web interface.  Or is "install" with type "doc" being used?

-=erik.
