similar to: Whole disk encryption

Hello all, I posted the whole disk encryption instructions in the forum that has been briefly discussed on the list. I joined the list per Ned's post on the thread. http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=15923&forum=42 I have a couple of questions about the process of creating a wiki. 1. How does the peer-review process work? 2. Is there a place

Hi everyone, I added a page under the HowTos for Encryption, and then added a guide for encrypting /tmp /swap and /home using cryptsetup and LUKS keys on LVM, when you already have partitions setup. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/EncryptTmpSwapHome Regards, Max

The following patch swaps the command line handling of kinit. It seems apparent that, if one were to call kinit like so: kinit root=/foo/bar They would be attempting to override the /proc/cmdline. As it stands, kinit parses the /proc/cmdline *first*, meaning the above does not work. Just for a simple use case: User A has an encrypted root device, root=/dev/hda3 Some init scripts detect this,

Hello, Can someone please point me to documentation on encrypting a file share? Looking to have data created on a Windows workstation backed up and saved on a Samba file share across a WAN link. Currently using IPsec so I assume I'm good on the transport end? Thanks. -- -James

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86. In the past while I was using SL 4.x. I was using BestCrypt. Now in CentOS 5.0, neither BestCrypt nor TrueCrypt seem to work. Is there any volume encryption or full HDD encryption that works with CentOS 5.0 out there (preferably in single-user mode)?

Hi, dom0: Debian Lenny 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64, domU: same. Xen 3.2-1 After resizing a LV on dom0, Xen is not reporting the new extended size to the PV domU even though dom0 is well aware of the new size. I''ve rebooted domU (not dom0 yet as that''s running a lot of other domU''s). The LV I tried to resize is encrypted. Resizing unencrypted volumes works as expected. dom0:~#

Has anyone built and installed truecrypt 6.1a on CentOS 5.3. When I build it it keeps failing here: Compiling EncryptionOptionsWizardPage.cpp Forms/EncryptionOptionsWizardPage.cpp: In member function ?TrueCrypt::SharedPtr<TrueCrypt::EncryptionAlgorithm> TrueCrypt::EncryptionOptionsWizardPage::GetEncryptionAlgorithm() const?: Forms/EncryptionOptionsWizardPage.cpp:45: error: no matching

Hello, when i mount a truecrpyt volume with truecrypt 5.1a and synchronize data locally with rsync (version 2.6.9 protocol version 29) like this way: $ truecrypt myvolume.tc $ rsync -av /home/oliver/myfolder /media/truecrypt The myfolder is copied to /media/truecrypt like it should. But when i dismount the truecrypt volume and mount it again: $ truecrypt -d /media/truecrypt $ truecrypt

Hi all, Has anyone used TrueCrypt on a XEN based machine before? I'm running CentOS 5.3 with kernel 2.6.18 but when I launch TrueCrypt, it keeps on telling me I need kernel 2.6.24 or later. "Your system uses an old version of the Linux Kernel. Due to a bug in the Linux Kernel, your system may stop responding when writing data to a TrueCrypt volume. This problem can be solved by

A customer asked me if someone would be able to sniff (wireshark or something like that) a password if plugging into the same switch as their samba server. They use a desktop icon pointing at a plain old bat-file containing a "net use" command with the password right in there. I *assume* that the "net use" authenticates via encrypted communication? could someone confirm

Hi, I would like to have a software protection for my hardisk. I have some query regarding that (1) In Centos, is it possible to do a hardisk protection. Ex : Even if the hardisk is taken from a PC and used on another PC, it should not be executable. (2) Also if the entire binary of the source is mounted on a partition say /tmp, is it possible to make that mount point as protected,

Just a small question. ============== I was really just meaning to ask whether there are issues with running truecrypt inside a samba share. My system had never had any issues but now I was writing to a folder that is a truecrypt mount inside a samba share and the smbd process writing into it blocked or is still "D" waiting for IO and I cannot kill it. So the question was whether

Hi all, I know some may find this OT, so please ignore this if you think it's OT. I don't know any Linux-friendly Windows mailing lists / forums that will even bother with Linux related questions. I want to carry some data (client info, documents, photos, email, accounting stuff, etc) with me on a USB HDD, but want to encrypt it. I know one easy way to shared data between Windows &

I have a WD Elements 2TB USB hard drive. I would like to encrypt the whole drive with TrueCrypt on my CentOS box. Could someone direct me to a tutorial on how to do this? Ideally, I would also like to access it with my WinXP box, but this part is optional. Thanks for your help. Mike.

I have seen people say both that rsync can efficiently copy truecrypt volumes. I got it working once with deltacopy but as I'm trying to get it to work from the command line, I cannot. It just transfers the whole file. I am using -rvs -inplace switches. Does anybody have any suggestions? _____________________________ Stephen Zemlicka Integrated Computer Technologies PH.

Hi, I have a small server at home. I like to put it 'online' and secure it as good as possible. The counterside of putting your personal backups on a server is that it might get hacked... and you don't want have to have your personal docs online... Do you think encryption is needed? How to use encryption with rsync? Thanks in advance, ~D

Hello, I'm using rsync to make backups. In my dataset, however, there are a few encrypted Truecrypt volumes. When these files are modified, the content changes but the timestamps are not updated. Thus, rsync will not sync these files by default. I would like to keep the behavior of Truecrypt and have rsync update the files correctly. Using the --checksum option comes to mind in this case.

I am trying to use kickstart for automated builds from a DVD. Some of the machines have DVD's drives and some have CDRom drives only. With the CDRom only machines I would like to plug in an external DVD drive via USB and use this to kickstart. The DVD only machines work correctly with a isolinux.cfg as label test kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192
