Like say encrypting Documents by default or having a secured area that xdg enabled apps can be instructed to use or not. On systems that I act as admin encrypted home directories are going to cause problems when i need to help a user with something...even primarily single user systems where I am not the primary user. Having to unencrypt a user's home directory to troubleshoot things like gconf or other settings stored in user's home directory would be a huge frelling pain in the ass. I really don't think encrypting the whole home directory by default for general use is a good idea..even on a laptop. In any event, i would prefer to continue to use a passphrase on my keyring and also relevation's key file, and be able to unlock both at login. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
