First, sorry for bugging you guys with questions. I am rather new, and I hope I can contribute later on with more experience.
Promise? :)
Is there anyway to encrypt parts of a drive? For example: I need to encrypt a specific home directory /home/confidentialuser/ but not the rest of the drive, is that possible?
One way to do this is via fuse-encfs (yum install fuse-encfs).
See the examples in the man page.
There are other ways as well, using dm-crypt to create an encrypted container. It's been a while since I played with any of them, so hopefully others can chime in with the pros and cons of various methods.
