Dear All, I've succeeded in creating an encrypted partition using gbde. I followed the directions in the FBSD Handbook which, among other things, states: Unlike cumbersome encryption methods that encrypt only individual files, gbde transparently encrypts entire file systems. No cleartext ever touches the hard drive's platter. But I wonder if that last sentence is true. What about the swap partition? Is it simply bypassed, or does one need to do something to create an encrypted swap partition? regards, Robert
