There are several encrypted filesystems for Linux. Ones aimed at distributed filesystems (NFS replacements): - "CFS", which has been packaged and is available from nonUS.debian.org. - "TCFS", http://tcfs.dia.unisa.it/ Another approach is using a loop filesystem (see losetup(8)) with DES encryption; see ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/BETA/loop/ . There's also something at ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/replay/pub/linux/all . And there was an article on encrypted filesystems in the July issue of Linux Journal.
