Even though I can mount the same encrypted folder with different users and create files, and permissions are 644 or 755 it is not possible to access files/folders created by other users, only own stuff. Neither is it possible, even as the owner, to change the ownership of files/folders inside the encrypted directory to another user. Which would normally be just fine, but I also would like an encrypted shared folder that any user that got the key can read/write into, anyone got a solution for this? Since I couldn't find vnconfig for Linux I am wondering if there is there any other folder/partition/disc encryption method that both, BSD and Linux systems can access.
