9/11 Hi does anyone else run linux/freebsd on their Desktop?
Do you encrypt your home directory? How does that play nice
with hibernation/suspend? Do you have to enter in a secret
key when you log in? Could you give a short summary of how
this all works? thank you!
\_ I'm a FreeBSD user. I do not encrypt my home directory
as I don't keep anything important there. I do have GBDE
partitions, and occasionally have soft links to files there
from my home directory. Once attached, GBDE partition is
"just there." Hibernation/suspend should not affect it.
I don't hibernate/suspend anyway. I'd think that if you
have a good password, and lock your X session (or just log
out), you'd be safe. If the machine is rebooted, GBDE
partition is gone. You need to re-attach with the
password. |
