Thanks to all those who responded with help.

As I read the above (very interesting!) article,
I checked on my FC6 laptop (running the
2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 kernel) to see if encrptyfs was
there.

A `locate -i encryptfs' turns up nothing, as does
`yum info '*encrpytfs*'.  Is this stuff absent
from FC6?  (Tell me it ain't so. I have no time
to install F7 right now.)  The article said that
encryptfs was available in the kernel as of
2.6.19.

Clues?

Dean
