The SuSE crypto file system is not that new. I have been using it on one of my computers since SuSE 7.2 or 7.3. I have had no problems with it. Just remember that the file system encryption is only to reduce the likelihood of someone getting access to your file system or possibly through the actual hard drive if taken from your computer. Once you have logged in, the file system is available to any one who has access to your computer. During the boot process there is a spot to type in the access code. If this is entered correctly then the file system is available, if the entered code is incorrect then the encrypted file system(s) remain encrypted and not accessible. The best security, of evolution of any other files, remains the physical security to keep unauthorized persons away from your computer when you are logged in and either log out or turn off your computer when you leave your computer. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?
