[CentOS] Software Protection on centos
Hi, I would like to have a software protection for my hardisk. I have some query regarding that (1) In Centos, is it possible to do a hardisk protection. Ex : Even if the hardisk is taken from a PC and used on another PC, it should not be executable. (2) Also if the entire binary of the source is mounted on a partition say /tmp, is it possible to make that mount point as protected, visible only after entering a password or similar to that.

IIRC the only partition that can't be encrypted with LUKS is /boot, perhaps use TrueCrypt there if you KNOW they are out to get you. TrueCrypt is also useful if you need to share a partition with certain Non-Unix operating systems. You do need to select the LUKS encryption when you do the CentOS install. -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
