[lug] changes in encryption

[D. Stimits]

I have an old password file (not system...a text file with passwords for 
newsgroups, web sites, etc.) that I've built up and collected for 
several years, created I think originally under RH7.3 (not quite sure 
when). Anyway, it is AES encrypted, and I'm trying to migrate to FC 7. 
It seems there have been a lot of changes, and I'm not able to loopback 
mount the file anymore. I don't mind creating something new with 
dm-crypt, but I kind of wanted all those passwords...without installing 
and old system (though I suppose I could experiment with xen and load 
something like FC4 or RH 7.3, but this would be a lot o ftrouble). The 
various docs I've found seem to be out of date, and involve creating a 
custom losetup...only the patch links are broken, and no longer refer to 
a valid URL. Does anyone know if there is a working means to loopback 
mount an older aes file? Or do I need to install and older system to 
migrate (which I'm afraid probably won't have patches for either)?
