Reliability issues aside, I don't want to add value to my body parts. Consider the older gentleman in The Avengers whose retina was the key to unlocking access to that rock they needed to open the portal. Things didn't work out so well for his eye. It's a ridiculous example, of course. Still, I don't want to unnecessarily increase the chances that someone might want to lop off one of my fingers because it's the key to firing a gun. I like my fingers the way they are presently.
I stop reading articles when I reach the first use of the word (or prefix) "cyber". I made it five words into the linked article. Federal government related articles are the worst. Or maybe only? Who outside of the Feds and organizations working for the feds, uses "cyber"? I need to figure out what the approximate vernacular lag.
csfd - that's what it was. The Cryptographic File System.... The readme for the FreeBSD port is:
This is CFS, Matt Blaze's Cryptographic File System. It provides transparent encryption and decryption of selected directory trees. It is implemented as a user-level NFS server and thus does not require any kernel modifications.
It's been a long time since I set it up under FreeBSD...but, as I recall, it had a very easy-to-setup system for creating an encrypted filesystem. I just 'cattach' it when I boot the machine...and I'm the only user than can look at the contents. It's really quite nifty. And I've never been able to find a good Linux equivalent.
I would have included the changelog and mirrors link, but I had not yet ever submitted a story to slashdot, and the thought of having my first try be successfull, AND about a kernel release at that was too overwhellming. I had been having problems with 2.4.10, so, I was often refreshing kernel.org with the hopes of a 2.4.11 magically appearing...how nice.:-)

People still use broadcast TV? Huh.

...then you probably weren't actually a customer, so I doubt the software company would be very depressed to lose your business.
Not that I condone the BSA....
Throwing the politicians in....
From the environment's point-of-view, this might not be such a good idea.
Or perhaps it is three Martian years.

It's on freakin' kernel.org, and I'm compiling it right now. I don't see how that's terribly questionable.
