It encrypts some of the directory structures as well, which is usually desirable because they can contain secret information as well (think of a file named "CompanyX_Merge_Plans.doc"). I don't know if it's capable of handling passphrases centrally as opposed to on a user-session basis, but if so, you would need someone with the password present every time you booted the machine. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
