Check out tcfs (Transparent Cryptographic File System) at
http://tcfs.dia.unisa.it From the web page, "Our work improves on
Matt Blaze's CFS by providing deeper integration between the
encryption service and the file system which results in a complete
transparancy of use to the user applications." It's written for Linux,
but there are NetBSD and FreeBSD ports. If you are running some
other flavor of Unix, you'll have to stick with CFS for now.
I have no affiliation with the TCFS group other than as a satisfied
user (it offers significant performance improvements over CFS).
