Slashdot Mirror


Seeking Current Info on Linux Encrypted FS?

slick_rick asks: "I'm looking for info on encrypted file systems under Linux to help my employers company move away from Microsoft centric solutions. However the latest HOWTO is two years old, the latest kernel patch dates back to April (and 2.4.3) and even the Sourceforge project has nearly zero documentation and appears to be very dead. Are slashdotters using encrypted file systems? If so, what are your experiences?" We last talked about this topic, just over a year ago, in this article.

    Why do mods waste the mod point modding down stuff like this to -1?

    ACs post at ZERO ALREADY, folks! People who browse at the default (1) won't even see unmodded AC comments.

    Save the points for the truly deserving trolls.

    BTW, this parent *should* have been Score:-1 (Offtopic), NOT Score:-1 (Troll), if you're going to bother!

    >You can see how trivially easy that was and if you had put about half an hour's thought into it, you could have realized that the "outdated" howto hasn't been updated because the process is pretty much unchanged and you would not have wasted our time with yet another linux newbie Ask /. question. But that's just my opinion.

    Well, that's quite an attitude from someone with a /. ID in the low four-hundred-thousands.

    Errm,a low /. ID now equals some sort of coolness factor and allows you to be rude?

    I must be way cool, maybe I should get a badge printed with my number on it? :)

    Heres another opinion, your a jackass.

    What about my jackass? I don't even own a donkey! Did you perhaps mean "you're" as in contracted "you are"? You did, didn't you? Oh my! I'm so hurt and offended by your opinion! You really meant to say something hurtful towards me! I'm going to go commit suicide RIGHT NOW to make penance.

    Hi.

    I'm twenty five years old, and up until two weeks ago, I was a virgin. Too
    many celibacy had worn my self-esteem down to the point where I was finally
    willing to pay for sex. I'll spare you the details of the event, as this is
    not what I am writing about.

    After having completed the act, the prostitute whose services I had rented
    immediately exclaimed that something had felt weird. With no particular
    ceremony, she grabbed my now-flaccid member and subjected it to an intense
    examination, while biting her thumbnail in consternation.

    After a brief period, she informed me that my penis was deformed, in her
    professional opinion. I had spent my entire life without ever seeing another
    man urinate, so I was not aware that the output usually emits from the end
    of the head, not the underside, where mine does.

    I'd like to know if I should seek the advice of a doctor or plastic surgeon?
    Is this the sort of thing that can, or even should be corrected? I've lived
    with it for twenty five years, and it hasn't bothered me. Is there really
    any reason to worry about this?
