Hi all...
- From what I understand of the documentation (haven't tested it yet) all
the encrypted files are stored in /crypt, and so are unencrypted files
while being accessed. Isn't that a huge problem?
If someone wanted to access my data then the best thing would probably be
to cut power to my house, then break in. If you cut power then the disk
would still contain the unencrypted files in /crypt, and when mounted on a
different computer they would be as readable as root on that computer
wants, right?
Or am I missing something here?
Also, the latest version I found was 1.3.3 which is from march '96. Is cfs
no longer under development?
