Re: Encrypting directories

Basicaly it is something you mount, so you can do whatever you like with
it. I would however think that you would first test it on your own
machine, so that you know what problems could rise.

Please note that I have downloaded from truecrypt.org, so any other
files might do things differently or not.

As it needs mounting, ypu need root access. Not something you would
like to do each time. I came across the following (untested)
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Truecrypt#Mount_volumes_as_a_normal_user

However there is no group truecrypt with openSUSE, so what I did was the
following: as root `visudo` and added the following line:
houghi ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/truecrypt

However when I now do the following, the directory is owned by root,
making the user houghi unable to write to it. Strange.
