2 others are also already in FreeBSD src/ (not just ports) gbde & geli. Whether moved from ports to src or not, either way, I sggest add to man section SEE ALSO gbde(8) & geli(8) Also, SEE ALSO of gbde & geli should probably ref ports/sysutils/pefs-kmod ft: Command not found. No pefs yet i SEE ALSO of http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gbde&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=geli&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html I suggest add an href inside: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-encrypting.html Even if just a 1 liner to start, to expand to a section later. (None there for 'pefs', I just searched) Personaly I've been using gbde based on top of a file inside a UFS for a long time, I can't remember why I chose gbde rather than geli, I guess because it was there first ? A dummy's guide short notes along the lines of "Which of these 3 should I use?" might also later be nice at the top of that web page :-) Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, like a play script.
