-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You can encrypt a filesystem in harddrake. click "toggle to expert mode", and click on options. Unfortunately the password has to be at least 20 character. Sorry, but i just can't put important data on a filesystem encrypted with 20 characters, my memory is just not that good ;-) This has been implemented since 8.1 I think. I have tried every possible way to get the mandrake guys to change the minimum characters down to something sane: emailed cooker list during devel process of 8.1 multiple times emailed cooker list during devel process of 9.0 multiple times submitted it to mandrake-expert submitted a patch to mandrake bugzilla,
and... still nothing I guess nobody except me is really interested in it /rant Sascha Noyes On Tuesday 26 November 2002 03:07 pm, Pierre BETOUIN wrote: > Is there an equivalent of a patch in order to crypt the fs in RPM for > mdk? > I'd like to use something like cryptoapi or loop-aes but i've to patch > the kernel before... > Laptops users could be very interested in this... > > Here is some docs about it : > http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-crypto&r=1&w=2 > http://www.kerneli.org/howto/index.php > http://hints.us.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/cryptoapi.txt > > > What do you think of this idea? 8.2 release didn't manage it? > I could be proposed as an option (in "expert" mode). - -- Please encrypt all correspondence.
