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?
Try mcrypt, you may have to install from your CD/DVD. NAME mcrypt, mdecrypt - encrypt or decrypt files DESCRIPTION Mcrypt is a simple crypting program, a replacement for the old unix crypt(1). When encrypting or decrypting a file, a new file is created with the extension .nc and mode 0600. The new file keeps the modification date of the original. The original file may be deleted by specifying the -u parameter. If no files are specified, the standard input is encrypted to the standard out‐ put. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
