In case the key is a suboptimal ascii-only key, it looks like this. |

offset bytes broken up visual represent. |

If there were a newline, one of the bytes would be 0a. |

The right and easy way is to just use the supplied pmt-ehd(8) tool, |
| 30 |
which works both interactively and non-interactively, depending on |
| 31 |
whether it's called with enough arguments or not, so there's something |
| 32 |
for everybody's flavor. |
| 33 |
It does not do LUKS yet as of pam_mount 2.2, though. Guess my |
| 34 |
todo list gets longer.. |
