This is for two reasons not of use for me: The Linux and the OpenBSD systems are kilometers apart and the OpenBSD system is in a network which allows no access from the internet. So I have to transfer data with a USB flash drive. Also in most cases ssh does not support changing mtime of symlinks, which is required for fast data synchronization (compare mtime instead of readlink). For this reason I even use USB when the two systems are in the same network. So it would really be great to have an up-to-date EncFS... Carsten
