I think that the work done by Dustin is excellent, useful and worth advertising as much as possible. The process to set up encrypted directories has been streamlined a lot thanks to his work. However I wonder if asking the user to setup encrypted directories during the -server installation process is useful. We try to keep the installer as simple and straight forward as possible for the majority of users. Is it worth adding another step to the installation process that covers only a minority of -server use cases ? The question is not whether encrypted directories are useful in a server environment - they are for specific use cases (login servers, file servers, not so much for database servers, http or mail servers) - but whether it's worth adding an extra step to the installation process asking the user to setup encrypted directories for the system. -- Mathias Gug Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
