I have been wondering about using some kind of password vault, so I was looking at truecrypt. there is a RPM file for Suse, but the documentation is for Windose, and has frames etc. I m a command line user, and so far I have not worked out how to create an encrypted object. The help tells me how to mount one, but so far I have not got one!

To tell the truth, I created my encrypted volumes under MS Win and then used them in Linux, so have no experience with volume creation from command line. But just recently (Feb 05) truecrypt released new version (5.0), that contains full GUI for Linux, equivalent to that of MS Win. So if you are not in situation where you can't use GUI at all, try it.

BTW, truecrypt is much more than "password vault" (there are kwallet, MyPasswordSafe and I guess more applications for that).

Actually if you download the newest RPM, and enter truecrypt at the command line, a GUI pops up. - James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
