Im new to the list and CentOS and wonder if there is any option to do full disk encryption with dmcrypt and LUKS during the install stage of CentOS 5.1? I use Debian Etch at the moment and Debian is able to to this. If not possible, are there any good guides that anyone knows about that explain how to dmcrypt everything but /boot on CentOS manually? --andrew -- GnuPG Key ID: ECB18ABA Fingerprint...

...... 3. There are some issues with SELinux and policies, so I have reverted to running in 'Permissive' mode for the time being. 4. Do not use 'rhgb' (the Red Hat Graphical Boot) on the kernel boot parameters in grub.conf. Especially if (like me) there are boot time prompts (such as dmcrypt-LUKS passphrases) that need to be input during boot. This interaction requires going from graphical to text mode and back, presumably switching virtual terminals. This may be unique to nVidia based video hardware, but there seems to be some issues with VT switching, which also seems to cause proble...

Hi, After reading through the btrfs documentation I''m curious to know if it''s possible to ever securely erase a file from a btrfs filesystem (or ZFS for that matter). On non-COW filesystems atop regular HDDs one can simply overwrite the file with zeros or random data using dd or some other tool and rest assured that the blocks which contained the sensitive information have

...RTITION symbol _and_ because it actually tests to see if CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION is defined, I decided to comment out that include. The build then completes.

Hi, One of the problems we are facing is secure storage of passwords (database, bestcrypt, other applications/systems, ) and availability within users' scripts (perl, python, ...) or applications (Java, C, ). I'm sure that there are quite a few people who are facing the same issue and there are quite a few home made solutions, such as password obfuscators and/or solutions based on the
