[glug-t] Re: Encrypting information on disk

Try doing this :
1) Install fuse-encfs
     yum install fuse-encfs
Also, add yourself to a group called fuse now present on your system.

2) Then, assuming mystuff folder has the data you are trying to protect
    mv mystuff mystuff-bak

3) Then create an encrypted encfs file system in a folder with encfs
command:
    mkdir .mystuff
    mkdir mystuff
    encfs ~/.mystuff ~/mystuff  (you have to give the full path from / here)
Agree to the default settings and provide a password when asked. (Don't lose
this password, coz if you do, there is no way to recover your information.)

4) Now move your stuff to the encrypted your system :
    mv mystuff-bak/* mystuff/

5) Now unmount your encrypted file system :
    fusermount -u mystuff

That it!

Now when you need to see the encrypted files, type :
    encfs ~/.mystuff ~/mystuff
And when you are done, unmount it by :
    fusermount -u mystuff
