According to the suse.com website, a new feature in 8.2 is "Encryption of directories and partitions ". I can't find a detailed explanation of what this entails or how to use it. My guess is that this is simply loopback encryption, and really isn't new(if so, it's dishonest to suggest that it's a new feature). I bought Suse 8.2 Pro soley because I thought that this is a new feature, but I can't find a good explanation of it anywhere. Has anyone gotten anywhere with the directory encryption? Is it really just loopback, or is there some new feature that they just didn't document real well? I found the tool to add encrypted loopback devices in the partition manager, but can't find anything that supports the "encrypted folders claim. Could someone enlighten me please? -- -ll
