Details

A new ecryptfs-utils package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5.2.

eCryptfs is a stacked, cryptographic file-system included in the Linux
kernel. It is transparent to the underlying file-system and provides
per-file granularity.

This new ecryptfs-utils package provides the mount helper and supporting
libraries to perform key management and mount functions.

All users needing tools to manage eCryptfs file-systems should install this
newly released package.
