Encrypted Home Directories?

Hello Everyone, Here is something I would like to do: (Could someone tell me if it is possible on Linux) -Every user's home directory is encrypted. No one other than the user (including root) can read the files/directories of that user. -Every time a user logs in, he/she will need to give a password to decrypt his/her stuff. -The root can delete the users files, but not read them. -The whole process should ideally be completely transparent to the user. Any pointers to programs that can do this on Linux?? With Regards, Sumit Dhar http://www.rootshell.be/~dhar
