Dear all,
I am fairly new to FreeBSD and this is my first post to
freebsd-questions. I hope I am asking my question in the correct forum.
Apologies if not.

If you're not using 5.x, then this isn't available to you yet. But I thought
I'd bring it up in case you weren't aware of it.

GPG would probably work well. You can encryt files symmetrically and

Thank you very much for your reply, for your comments on temp file

but moving to 5 is definitely an option. I'll have a look at gbde.
Thanks!

If you're not using 5.x,
1. bdes(1)
2. gpg -c (/usr/ports/security/gnupg)
3. gpg (/usr/ports/security/gnupg) with a public/private key pair for me
plus a passphrase
4. gbde (on FreeBSD = 5.X) encrypts a whole filesystem.
It is much easier to use than utilities that encrypt
single files.
5.
