Re: Encrypted Home Directories?

[Ray Slakinski <ray () sdf1 net>]

Could this not be part of the login script that unpacks a gpg file on 
login?  The only issue is re-packing the information, and removing all 
files put the encrypted package, I guess a deamon that watches login 
could do that part

You will also need an exclude list, if your providing webspace to those 
users.

Id be also interested how this will end up working, just my 2 cents
