The interesting part was using openssl to encrypt the key and then |

using your account's linux password to encrypt the openssl file. This |

the encrypted filesystem password/key (in the example, they create a |
| 10 |
very random key for the encrypted filesystem and then use pam_mount to |
| 11 |
automatically decrypt and mount the filesystems during login). |
