So how can I easily encrypt a 40 gigabyte hd that is running linux mint maya? I do have a Bios password enabled and I know that is easily overcome as well. By following your thoughts. It almost seems like a Raid 1 array could be a mute point 'I have been thinking about learning more on that subject'. If physical access is easy to obtain. I just have so many questions I apologize. Thank you Ryan for the great Link on PCI compliance. http://www.centrify.com/blogs/tomkemp/pci_compliance_for_linux.asp Thank you, Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 00:15:23 -0600 From: tclug at freakzilla.com To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Do strong root passwords prevent alternative access? Not saying it's easy, but the best case scenario here is someone steals your harddrive and you lose any data that's not backed up. Untrusted people gaining physical access is never good.
