Hi folks,

some distros come with a little utility called "mounttool". I can loop mount 
images of encrypted filesystems (cryptsetup but for loop mounting). I can't 
seem to find it in gentoo. Does it hide somewhere? Or can someone recommend a 
similar tool in portage?

Uwe

What's wrong with:

losetup /dev/loop/0 <image>
cryptsetup create decrypted_image /dev/loop/0
mount /dev/mapper/decrypted_image /mnt/encrypted

Simply that I didn't know about losetup. ;-)
