Truecrypt is good, but it creates a monolithic container, and that impacts backups. Encfs encrypts files and folders, so that works well for folders that are synced. Lars, FWIW, I just did a brief test--I created an crypt store in my afs home dir, and then used encfs to mount that to a directory on my workstation. That seems to work just fine. I think you'd want to do it this way--you want to be careful where you mount encrypted volumes since you don't want the mount point where things are non-encrypted accessible to backup systems not under your control. bil -- _______________________ bil hays Infrastructure Manager Computer Science, UNC CH www.cs.unc.edu/~hays https://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~hays/gpg.asc _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
