Thanks for the reply. I had seen your name in a few emails and was aware of 
zfs-crypto.

loficc is completely new to me.

It would be my view that full disk would need to be available for OpenSolaris 
to be accepted  by Government and Business users at least on laptops. There is 
an article on the opensuse wiki that puts a good argument for an encrypted root 
and using a usb token.

I am also thinking about having a go at compiling TrueCrypt on Solaris. I have 
compiled stuff on Linux before  and as it is cross platform I can use it with 
Windows XP Professional, Linux and OSX. There is some demand for it:

At the moment I am running Indiana in Virtualbox with Ubuntu Hardy as host. So 
I can safely play.

For the moment though hardware encryption appears to be the go for laptops with 
OpenSolaris.

If I can assist with testing as an end user let me know. I am not a guru but 
can follow "destructions" as my father used to call instructions.

Good luck and success with zfs-crypto.
