Thank you.
I was able to figure it out, BUT only be scanning the encfs binary for
strings!!!!!
This should be in the manual.
It is also good that the file name does not have to end in .xml and can
be ANY filename in any location, to try and further hide what the file
is for. Especially if you hide it in a whole collection of simular files
OR even use a different file for different 'interleaved passwords'
Question: is the file only read once?
That is can you read the file from a USB and then umount the usb once
the encfs directory is mounted.
Or better still seeing as the environment variable remains 'visible' in
the process list of the encfs process, can you read it from a named
pipe so as to further hide what file was actually read for a currently
mounted filesystem?
