I hate to seem to be going on about encfs, but I've just installed Mga8, on a machine, and the needed application gnome-encfs-manager is not in the Mga8 repositories. While the encfs executable is there, the gui launcher and mounter is missing. Presumably encfs can still be run as a command line entity, the gui makes it so much easier to implement. Any idea, anyone as to why it's missing, when it will come back, and whether the package in Mga7 will substitute.

There is the package "cryptkeeper" in our repos.

Ah, It does seem to fulfil the same function as gnome-encfs-manager. I'll have to give it a whirl. The two directories, encrypted and in clear, are on a NAS unit so all my devices on the LAN can see them, but I've not yet bitten the bullet of setting up the directory shares on the Mgs8 install. It's not a fun exercise! Setting up shares in Mageia, is more notable for what does not work, than for what does.

Thanks Sturmvogel, I've not yet sorted out the file sharing side of things, but, I did construct an ecnfs setup in Mga8, and it does seem the same with only minor variation, which might be just the way the original setup was made. I'll keep isadora happy and close the thread

It's not about keeping moderators happy, it helps others find solutions quicker when searching for specific issues and adds visibility.
