I just said it's there, and it isn't there in OpenBSD. Why doesn't OpenBSD support such a basic thing as an encrypted FS? There's encryption built-in everywhere else except the one place which makes all the difference if the machine itself is stolen. I think there are Two Great Encryption Tabboos: Encrypted voice and encrypted FS. I would like to see OpenBSD support the encrypted FS in its default kernel, thus making it the first OS with such a feature (I don't count hacks such as loopback FS). > Thanks for wetting my keyboard with beer via nasal passage.
