I have an encrypted partition that works fine, but I have a few Q': Suse v8.2
During boot, if I don't get to the computer fast enough, the log in key prompt fails, and the boot continues. Hw do I "mount" an encrypted partition, once the computer is booted. This is not referenced in the suse manual on cd.
/etc/init.d/boot.crypto start As root. It should be 'rccrypto start', but it doesn't exixt.
When I copy text from a encrypted partition to a plaintext partition, it is no longer encrypted.
Right.
How do I encrypt a file from the command line?
With gpg, for example.
I am primarily interested in encrypting my backup cd's, as now I have to use dos with an encryption program.
Me too, I'm interested in a good solution for that. I might think it over and come with something, if I have a bit of time. Remind me in a week or two, if nothing comes up first.
Does decrypting with the wrong key fail, or does it hopelessly re-encrypt your data with an unknown key due to a typo?
It fails. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
