Hi,

I doubt I would choose this for my servers - I may add it on at a later
time through a command or set of commands.

Andrew.

Note that when the user is logged in, the data is decrypted and
protected by file system permissions (700), so the goal of setting up
the encrypted directory is more to protect the data against computer
theft than against other simultaneous users of the server (and the
installer question is very clear about that).
