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?

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. ;-)
