Encrypting a User's Home Directory Under Mac OS X

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-ya-see-it-now-ya-don't dept.

jnetsurfer writes "A friend of mine challenged me to see if I could place a user's home directory on a device image (DMG) under Mac OS X. Well, I decided to post my solution to the problem on the web and here, in case anyone is interested. This can be useful if you want to encrypt a user's home directory, or if you wanted to limit a user's home directory to a certain size."
