Hi, How would this affect speed? I would only have customers data encrypted as well as my own working directory where I keep all cvs etc. System parts would be without encryption.

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. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== A baby first laughs at the age of four weeks.
