There, you have the swap encrypted, up and running. Of course, if you need more fancy encryption than the default, XOR or DES, get the crypto patch. You only need to have a script that does the stuff, that runs when the system boots, without shutdown scripts (in case of power/battery failure

Okay, even if I get the password from /dev/urandom this sounds like a solution for people who don't use much swapspace. Because I have to recreate the swapfs everytime I am booting.

so long...
