This tip is BAD
Authored by: JohnnyMnemonic on Jan 12, '04 12:52:33PM
This is a pretty bad hint--encrypted disk images have been around since 10.2 at least.

What I was expecting was that it would auto-mount the protected folder on login with a password stored in one's keychain.

Although this hint didn't supply that, can you do that with a regular protected disk image?

Very simple: when you create the disk image make sure to check the box "store password in keychain". The drag'n drop the image (the file .sparseimage, not the virtual drive) in your Startup Items in the Account pane of the System Preferences.

The encripted image will mount automatically at every login.
