That would be a VERY bad idea security-wise. Any vulnerability, either in Cherokee or in any of the processes it spawns would automatically have access to the whole directory. Even worse (and more likely), you would only have to create a simple symlink to allow Cherokee to access any other of the encrypted user files. In any case, if you are encrypting a portion of your used directory, it means it should be kept away from the world at large. If you want to make part of your information public, well, keep it outside the encrypted area! You can achieve that (while keeping a congruent view to the user) by setting up an unencrypted directory controlled (chown'ed) by the user (call it if you want to /home/public/$user or whatever), and symlinking it as /home/$user/public.
