asked on
encripted filesystem on AIX
OK, my boss asked me (once again) :-)
- Make an encrypted filesystem to be accesed ONLY to one user (not even root) to hold some sources files. Question:
How can I make this filesystem? Please, I know there's a redbook about this, I just want a simple step by step (if possible) tutorial to do the homework.
Thanks

wmp..
I have setup EFS and everything is working fine.. but I want to know if it's possible to a user, let say root work with the EFS's filesystem (/secure) without asking the passwd of the keystore? I mean with the command efskeymgr -o ksh, for example?
Thanks.

efskeymgr -o ksh will ask you once for the keystore password and then start a ksh for you.
You will be able to work with your encrypted files without being asked for the password again until you leave this shell.
As far as I know there is no possibility to load the keystore directly at login without being asked for a password, although I heard rumours that this should be possible if the keystore password was the same as the login password - but I never got it to work.
Maybe you're lucky with this - should you find a way please let me know!
