Encrypting File System Options for Mac OS X?

Posted by Cliff on from the locking-your-apples dept.

fieldmouse asks: "I recently had a laptop running Mac OS X stolen. Despite the fact that I got it back, that incident has me looking for an encrypting file system for Mac OS X; preferably one that would create a psuedo drive that I could unlock once when I log on. Anybody have any suggestions?" About 2 years ago, Ask Slashdot did the Linux version of this question. Has this gap been filled in Apple's latest OS offering?

    Dear Apple,

    I ama homosexual. I boughtan Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    with much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.

    Instead of screwing around trying to find stuff that's been out on Windows for ages?

    Apple still don't have an encrypted file system? Pathetic.
