Hi James, I encrypt my flash drive with TrueCrypt: http://www.truecrypt.org/ I've not used CryptKeeper/EncFS before, and nor do I like suggesting to people to migrate willy nilly to other software as a quick-fix to their problems, but perhaps TrueCrypt might suit your needs a little better. You'll still need to install the base application on whatever machine you are working on, but it is cross platform, free software (non-GPL and with a slightly silly license, but still considered free by most) and is pretty simple to use via a single binary that accommodates both command line and GUI users. Security wise, it is gaining a lot of attention. There are a few USB flashdrive devices on the market now with TrueCrypt built on to a read-only portion of the key as their defacto security measures: http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1547877893;pp;3;fp;4194304;fpid;1 -Dan -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
