Bashan, you might do better to tell us what you are trying to accomplish. If you are worried about security on the file, Linux file permissions can keep the file from being viewed by anyone other than you or root, depending on who created it. Aside from that, pgp encryption would restrict even further, preventing root from viewing the file. You could also zip the file and add a password and that would also encrypt it, although I suspect that pgp encryption would be more secure. If you are trying to duplicate file system encryption vis a vis Windows, you should understand that there is little need to do so although you can encrypt file systems with Linux also. I just have never heard of anyone needing to do so, other than NSA types, since the security model makes most of that superfluous in Linux. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
