Topic: File encryption on SME

[mackayr]

Greetings.

Is there any file encryption software available for SME (similar to Truecrypt).  Or has Truecrypt or GPG been installed successfully?

Thanks,

Rob

Did you ever find a solution to this.  I am interested as well.

Not yet!

Truecrypt doesn`t look too hard - and the beuty of it would be cross platform. I will have a go this week sometime.

Ha - famous last words.

Need the kernel-source of the current kernel (2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp) to compile. Cant find it anywhere.

Pity - it works nicely on another nix machine I have here.

Have you tried openssl, it should be installed on sme7 ?

Here is a howto:

Do you get smp kernel source or is there just one kernel source and you get a smp kernel depending on how you compile it ?

I did find this..

Hi William - Thanks - I`ll check it out later after work.

Footy fan? Big game at TS friday nite.

[william_syd]

Not a over the top fan. It is funny how Victoria is not in the game.

Ok - so I have a working kernel module (2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp only) that loads properly. I have no interest in turning it into an rpm so it will probably be a simple untar and install jobby.

Kernel module is here. Extract it under /lib/modules/2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp.

Grab the rpm for fedora core from the truecrypt site, extract and install. Examples of use can be found here.
