So if I forget to lock it and the computer is stolen then it is not encrypted? Is the lock/unlock part just for the system to be able to read from it?

I use fuse-encfs to store my financial data and revelation database and have not noticed any access speed issues. If you are encrypting your entire home directory using fuse-encfs, you will have to unlock before you login. I would recomment creating a secure folder within your home which you keep encrypted. Note that you have to lock/unlock your secure directory manually. -- Regards Vivek Registered Linux User #374218 Fedora Core release 6 (Zod) Linux 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 x86_64 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
