what is easily done with tee for stdout cannot be done for stderr. Looks like there is no easy way to make a pipeline using stderr separately from stdout. If you want to watch output of the stderr separately from stdout, you might manage for it in two consoles: % foo 2err % tail -f err

Mountable encrypted file? What to use?

2009-10-12 Thread Greg Morell
Since TrueCrypt doesn't work on FreeBSD, I'm wondering what you'd recommend for this: I like to keep all of my sensitive stuff in a few encrypted mountable files. Something where I can copy the file to a USB key for backup, but not worry if I lose the USB key since it's just an encrypted file.
