As far as I know, there is no encrypted filesystem support in FreeBSD. However, there are a couple of disk encryption systems in FreeBSD, GEOM and GELI. Both act between the disk and the filesystem layer, translating a disk into a (slightly smaller, but encrypted) disk, ontop of which you could put any supported filesystem. And by disk, I actually mean disk, partition, file or anything else you could put a filesystem on. GELI is quite new, and I'm not sure if it's in any releases yet. GEOM should be there though. Search the archives and the internet and manpages for more info. Svein Halvor
