ACL is the name for al your rules together. If you setup some rules for
a program then this is called an access control list. Because you
control the access of the programs...

Your lids.rc should be executed last in you bootscript. So the script
that mounts you var wil automaticaly run before it.

I supose you need to give losetup rights to access the encrypted file.
After you have setup the loop device you just use mount to mount the
device. This shouldn't give any problems. As long as the inode of the
encrypted file does not change. I don't think it will change because
only the content of the encrpyted file is changed, not the file itself.

Hope this helps a bit.

Greets,
Sander
