I'm looking for a method to create a encrypted sub-directory
structure on an existing partition.  I have an existing user base
with home directories in /home but I want some (only some) of these
users to have encrypted home spaces.  This machine is remote to me
but I have root access, so rebuilding the kernel is not and option.
Are there any recommendations on how to do this in debian?


Maybe cfs (cryptographic file system) is what you want.

I tried this but I got this when installing:

p4-7126:~# apt-get install cfs
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following NEW packages will be installed:

Can anyone help with this?
