Not out of privacy issues, simply because I responded german. Should have thought about a general interest on this topic and replied here. My fault. The link I gave him was http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/freebsd/2002-08/0116.html The patch was written against a 5.x from Aug 2002, so if it cleanly applies to nowadays freeBSD I do not know. But from a first glance I think it should, though I am not that familiar with kernel code. Joerg pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Uh, I would have posted the URL, now that I'm at home, but since it's already been posted by Mr. Pernfuss, ... I refer to his reply. =) I've tried setting up up an encrypted USB-stick, and it works. The tutorial explains how to encrypt the entire stick. Thanks! Well, I've got thank you. =) Kind regards, Benjamin pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hello once more, One of the readers has replied privately, telling me there's a patch for FBSD 5.x, mdcrypt, he also supplied me with a URL for downloading (thank you very much!).
