How To Replace FileVault With EncFS

Posted by timothy on from the for-secretive-tweakers dept.

agoston.horvath writes "I've written a HOWTO on replacing Mac OS X's built-in encryption (FileVault) with the well-known FUSE-based EncFS. It worked well for me, and most importantly: it is a lot handier than what Apple has put together. This is especially useful if you are using a backup solution like Time Machine. Includes Whys, Why Nots, and step-by-step instructions."

    Why is this a headline story on slashdot. It's a nice little achievement but hardly news. Anyway aren't Apple products suppose to "just work"? How dare this poster find a need for or better fit with something not specifically sanctioned by The Holy Jobs and his minions! ;-)
