Using geli here (FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0). since this is my (work) laptop, the only (allowed) user is me - I simply use sudo as needed (IOW, yes, mdconfig , geli and mount require root access) You could create wrappers for each user with the sudo option NOPASSWORD so the users can create / mount their devices without entering their password ( "user-friendliness" ). Or setuid the bins...(without much time to think about it, i prefer sudo...) How to mount the user's homedir would require some changes to how the login process works, i guess (i.e., know that the homedir's contents are encrypted, then mount the disk...)...
