Yes, there is little point in encrypting code, but it is probably easier to encode everything, thus making sure that nothing is forgotten. It also denies another person getting access to the computer to use it.
I think we are pretty much on the same page here. I encrypt /home and a out-of-the-normal-tree data directory which has customer data and proprietary source code from my day job. It might be that some things are in /var and /tmp as well as non-critical passwords to dyndns in /etc. But I want those the machine to boot. My Dyndns would help me track it down if stolen. I want to do just enough to protect the important stuff, and if there happens to be some detritus in /var/ I clean /tmp with a boot time script. There is even a fake /home directory under the mount point where the encrypted /home will be mounted. My theory is give the thief enough to believe they have the machine, while recording things (off site) that help me track it down. But then I'm not in Daniel's line of work. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
