I've posted instructions on how to encrypt the entire home directory of any user on a Mac OS X system. The technique is new as far as I know, and involves no NetInfo or fstab hacking.

Easy encryption of home directories
You haven't said anything about how decrypting the files in real time (like Mac OS X does) affects the overall system performance.
Easy encryption of home directories
Whether performance is an issue obviously depends on hardware ? how fast are the CPU and the drive. The HDI driver seems to be highly optimized.
re: encryption of home directories
I'm having a little trouble getting my head around this one:
re: encryption of home directories
The mount point of the disk image is the user's home directory. That's all there is to it. When the image is mounted, the existing node in the filesystem is replaced by the root of the HFS partition on the image.
re: encryption of home directories
Great concept, unfortunately it fails on the mount command for me. Is the mount command trying to mount the image at the current directory "." , which I assume is the home directory? |
