<br>Sounds possible.Try truecrypt and let us know how it goes.<br><br>Regards,<br>Shinoj.<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> From: waltdnes-SLHPyeZ9y/tg9hUCZPvPmw@public.gmane.org<br>> Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2012 11:19:11 -0400<br>> To: tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4@public.gmane.org<br>> Subject: [TLUG]: What is the best file encryption for linux?<br>> <br>> I plan do some travelling and take along my netbook or laptop, I want<br>> to be able to download+send email. Web UI sucks. I vastly prefer<br>> downloading via "getmail". The problem is that getmail's rc files have<br>> userid+password in plain text for each account. The risks of losing the<br>> netbook/laptop are obvious.<br>> <br>> What I'm thinking of doing is something like so...<br>> <br>> - instead of actual rc files in ~/.getmail, have symlinks pointing to<br>> non-existant files in /dev/shm (pseudo ramdrive)<br>> <br>> - the email retrival script would<br>> - decrypt the rc files onto /dev/shm (after asking for a passphrase).<br>> This would make the symlinks in ~/.getmail valid<br>> - download email, using the symlinked rc files in ~/.getmail<br>> - and then immediately delete the real rc files in /dev/shm<br>> <br>> The symlinks in ~/.getmail would again be pointing to non-existant<br>> files. Does this sound feasable, and what encryption program should I<br>> use?<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Walter Dnes <waltdnes-SLHPyeZ9y/tg9hUCZPvPmw@public.gmane.org><br>> --<br>> The Toronto Linux Users Group.
