Re: reliability of an encrypted partition, I have been using them in DOS for about 8 years, and under Suse (now 9.3) for about 4 years. I have never had a problem. I no longer use 'passwords' (really encryption keys), we now use phrases. like 'onceuponatime'. They are easier to remember, and a longer key gives better encryption.
Since I'm trying to ignore my wife who insists on watching those boorish soccer games... Is this something you use with partitioner? I mean, do you install the software then create a virtual partition in YaST or do you just run the software and it creates the virtual encrypted partition? This sounds nice, especially for some of my items under my Documents folder which may be personal in nature. The rest of my stuff (my MP3's and games) I could care less about. When making a backup - kdar or otherwise - does the encryption information go along with the partition? -- kai - www.perfectreign.com 43...for those who require slightly more than the answer to life, the universe and everything. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
