I think there might be a port of CFS (Matt Blaze's cryptographic file
system) to OpenBSD but you can also get this for most Unix-like systems
including Linux.  What you're probably thinking about with OpenBSD is
the ability to encrypt virtual memory.  If anyone knows of any other
encrypted filesystems (apart from the Windows 2K one) then I'd love to
hear about them.

Christian.
