I would only encrypt home.
You know, I was going to go that route.
However, I have no clue what to do. I see there's an option for something like a crypto, but I've yet to find anything on google as to how.
Say I have a 75GB home partition that I want to encrypt and want EXT3, what do I choose?
The easiest way is to start the yast partitioner module, and tell it to format a partition as ext3 encrypted. It will ask for the passphrase (better be long), and it will encrypt the partition - which can be /home, of course. Of course, it is a "format" tool, you loose any data on it, but that can't be helped (copy it somewhere else, and work as root meanwhile). There is another option, which I haven't tested, new for opensuse 10.3, that encrypts the home of a single user. It is done from the user management module. You can have pain users and encrypted users, and each one with a separate data space. If it is what I think, it creates an encripted filesystem on a file mounted on a loop in /home/USER- so you have to choose how much space to give it beforehand. The opensuse manual explains it, I think. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
