That may or may not be a good idea, but should be kept
in mind.

Would it make sense if 'fs setcrypt' would automatically fall back to use non-encrypted connections to any volumes accessible by system:anyuser (and *only* those volumes) if the connection is not currently authenticated?

This seems "reasonable" to me, since all of those files are
world-readable anyway.  Of course, I'm sure I could think of
arguments against the idea, if I actually wanted to...  :-)

maybe have a third option, 'fs setcrypt allprivate'
(a lousy name, but my mind is drawing a blank right now)
