Thanks for that Lowell! Looks like it might work. I will have a play with it!

Automatically encrypting data files in a partition.
Hi, I need a way to store different directory trees and files with different encryption keys, i.e.. /data/mars /data/mars/one /data/mars/two etc all are encrypted with one key and /data/venus /data/venus/one /data/venus/two etc, would have a different key. Ideally, the directory structure, and file names wouldn't be encrypted. /data is an independent partition. Some of these files, could be MS Office data files, others might be MS program *.exe files etc. It would be nice if this happened at the filesystem level, i.e., I would enter a key and the root dir name for each 'data tree' into the config file, reload the config file into the 'encryption filesystem program' and all would be sweet ;-) Ponderingly yours, Paul Hamilton ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
