I don't understand. What is wrong with giving people a name and
password? They become a normal user and can never get into your owned
directories. You when root can see it all.


15 years ago I used a similar system on an old Linux computer with
20 students. The biggest problem was getting them all into the computer.
But once done it worked fine. No body ever got to my part and found the
exams or grades.....

I can write in Danish. That is perfect encryption :-)

I searched for something similar (had to be open source and cross
platform) about a year ago and the only thing I found was Truecrypt
(http://www.truecrypt.org).


It doesn't fit your description exactly but may be useable. I don't
think they have an RPM available for Fedora leaving you to compile from
source. You have to recompile upon kernel upgrades too...

Depending on what you are trying to do, you may find the fuse-encfs
package interesting. You can also use GNUpg to encrypt files. I
don't remember the GUI front ends for gpg, but I remember that there
are several...

You can? How? I just checked and I don't see an "encrypt this" option in
Nautilus here.
