It's hosted on sourceforge.net. Google will turn up a lot of information... but here's what I do... mount -t ecryptfs /crypt /crypt -o rw,key=passphrase,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32,cipher=aes,passthrough=no /crypt on /crypt type ecryptfs (rw,ecryptfs_sig=cf5c9b2c19863be6,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,) When mounted in this manner... whatever you stick in /crypt is encrypted automaticly. You should read/print "man ecryptfs" when you get a chance. It covers the nitty gritty details. Over all, I like it a LOT. Heavy encryption, key not stored on the disk, unless you desire it... A simple umount command and access to the decrypted files is denied... Quite powerful and there's no limits to using it, other than you can't encrypt "/"... Cheers and have a nice weekend. -- Jerry McBride -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
