Good point... a little googling hasn't revealed anything definitive, but I often seem to be using poor search terms. I've found comments to the effect that encfs has multiple security issues... I did not find a clear description of what they are. Does anyone here know why encfs was not included in `jessie'? Also I know there are 1 or 2 other choices to do some of the same type of stuff... Those may be a better bet... any one able to plug for a specific technique to accomplish this setup: All I really do is keep smallish (less than 2 GB) directory with the contents encfs encrypted. Contents are a collection of piles of receipts, notes, licenses for software, and any other flotsum.. I felt a need to hang onto, byt did not want it in clear text. I only expect it might be enough to ward of the casual script kiddie, that might get into my system thru my own carelessness. I seriously do not expect to be targeted by serious black hats. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
