Hi As a user, I can create cryptographic directories within my home directory and attach them:
$ cd $ cmkdir encr Key: Again: $ cattach ./encr Key: $ ls /crypt/ encr/ However, doing the same in a mounted FAT32 partition that also belongs to the user fails: $ cmkdir vfat_encr Key: Again: cmkdir: Invalid argument $ ls -d vfat_* vfat_encr $ cattach ./vfat_encr Key: cattach: no such encrypted directory $ ls /crypt/ encr/ That is cmkdir gives an error, but creates a directory, while cattach fails altogether. Does anyone know why? And isn't CFS supposed to be file system agnostic? A quick search through Google told me that a FreeBSD user had a similar problem in 2000: he could not cattach files outside of his home directory. He solved it by doing "chmod a+x" on the directory that contained it [vfat_encr]. However, I already have world-readable and executable permissions there, so this doesn't help me. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Oleg Oleg
