EFS - Filesystems Security

Hi,

Is there a HP-UX equivalent feature for Microsoft's EFS? (Encrypted File System)

Thanks,

I have never heard of any EFS for unix, but if you could look at using bastille to lock down your systems, if security is high on your agenda. its a fantastic tool and its free.

as well as using secure shell to connect.

I hope this helps

Some flavors of UNIX support a loopback filesystem that, in priciple, would allow you to build this feature but HP_UX does not have this.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
