https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D205691 --- Comment #2 from Marie Helene Kvello-Aune <marieheleneka@gmail.com> --- Making some notes: sys/geom/eli.c:g_eli_taste(...):ln1147, calls cngets(...) to retrieve passphrase. sys/kern/kern_cons.c:cngets(...):ln423, implementation of cngets(...) Will probably need an alternate implementation of cngets() which does timekeeping to implement this feature request. Will do more research on this soon.=20 I suggest the exact time to wait to be defined in a loader tunable, and that the default setting should probably be around 10 minutes. Enough to grab a = cup of coffee/tea/other between powering on and entering passphrase, and little enough to not drain battery too much. I don't have an opinion whether the feature as a whole should be enabled by default. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
