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.
First, check your permissions. As root you should be able to do
anything. Did you try running your commands as root?
Ok I played around a bit and what I got so far is this.
A file or directory created by a common user can be access by root as it
should be. A file created by root can not read by a user even though the
permissions allow it (644). When I issue "chmod 644 file" as root, it
works. A directory created by root or a user works as it should.
The same encrypted folder was attached two times, once from root and
once from $user since either can not access each others mount.
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.
Probably not. But you know, if you are looking for security you
probably don't want to throw linux in the mix.... (yes that was snide)
As much as I love OpenBSD, it lacks some features I like to use from
time to time, like using my DVB-T adapter, playing some games that need
3D acceleration, stuff like that and I wouldn't want to reboot just to
access my files.
