Note the danger of using this program, since you might lock

yourself out of your system without any means of entering the root

file system password. This is, however, very unlikely considering

the fallback to getpass(3).

State that this command is not meant to be invoked directly, but

is run as a plugin from mandos-client(8) and only run in the

initrd environment, not the real system.

Note that it does *not* currently use cryptsource or crypttarget.

43
they should normally have been automatically created.

Not much to do here but it is noteworthy to state the danger of
77
not having a fallback option.

Refer to mandos-client(8mandos) and password-request(8mandos)

and also, perhaps, to cryptsetup(8)?
