7 Alternatively, you could do the same with the in-kernel ecryptfs. These
8 two solutions work in much the same way, allowing you to mount individual
9 directories with their own passwords, so you could have a single /home
10 with each user's directory having its own password. You back up the
11 encrypted data, so no passwords are needed for this.
