What's wrong with the linux PGP solution? I don't have much to offer about linux WDE, but in windows, why not use bitlocker? IMHO, it's perfect. I'll ramble on about reasons if anyone's interested: Can be deployed via group policy, but can also be deployed manually if you wish. Does not require a password at boot time, but can only be decrypted if (a) the hard drive is in the original computer, and (b) the hard drive is currently being booted in that computer, and (c) the boot sector and boot code have not been modified since the encryption was enabled. Or (d) you have the 40-char long randomly generated decryption key which was saved externally when bitlocker was first enabled. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
