SuSE Linux 7.2 Crypto FS

The main reason that I am using SuSE 7.2 Pro is because of the crypto filesystem. I have the /home, /usr and /mnt/storage directories encrypted with twofish. It's true that you can gain root if you have physical access to my machine, but the data... well... you won't have access to that.

I noticed this option when installing 7.2, but I have yet to attempt to set it up. I don't have a partition to encrypt, but I would like to encrypt a file (i.e. loopback device). What encryption algorithms are available / used? How would I set this up manually, or using YaST? Anyone try this? -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0
