hi,

Hello Tyro.

From where can i start knowing about the ecryption.

Start from http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encryption

By that I mean:

1. I just want to encrypt the login password...(have heard that it is good for security)

Its already encrypted with blowfish.

2. For files and folders.

But before that learn the basic principles. I just want to tell you something about me:- 1. What is my job? I am manager in a medium scale industry. 2. When did I join opensuse's mailing list? Very recently. 3. Do I know softwares? Absolutely no. Conclusions: I also (like you) don't get time, I am at all busy, but I am using opensuse (the same you are using, perhaps 11.4 as you say somewhere earlier). I just use it: for the work I have to do, I don't get time, so right now NOT learning it. But at the same time, I am NOT asking questions. So the most important thing is that you have to read first. I understand that you are a newbie, so I am, but remember that opensuse is the most nicest distro I have ever seen, in fact, it has been developed by brilliant developers and everybody here is willing to help provided you read the docs, the basics which are as easy as you do other work. Tyro, I am also beginner like you and I am also in other job, so I don't get time, does that mean that people would prepare the notes for you? I have used Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu and many other distros for my personal work. But opensuse, is the best amongst them, it is my experience. You don't (in fact, never) get any conflicts (at least, I have not got) in virtually any area. Simple, GUI installation, online documentation, everything. Tyro, don't take it otherwise and conclude that if you don't have the time, simply use opensuse without learning, it would give all the things you need. If you have time or you can manage (as you say), try to learn the basic concept first. See, you wrote for encryption, did you find the page: http://tr.opensuse.org/SDB:Setting_a_Password_for_the_Boot_Manager_GRUB which I found at google! I googled it just for you! But I never did that password encryption, since I didn't get time, but if I were doing that, I could have searched in google like I did for you. It took around 20-30 secs and the result is this page. So it is the time for you to have fund, forget about all the previous mistakes, start from fresh mind and learn learn learn, read the docs, read the docs, use google, use google, use google! All the best. Greetings, Sam -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
