Does anyone have any pointers on how to set up a server which will encrypt, say, the /home filesystem (~300 GB)? I'm open to any Linux or *BSD solution. Don't make me resort to using Windows! :-)

As usual, FUSE has the answer for everything!
Check your package manager, it may already be an installable package.

Okay... The encFS site doesn't have a whole lot of explanation, other than the simple case. How do I set things up so that I can use rsync over ssh and store files in the remote encFS filesystem? I'd like to set this up to run as a cron job. Yep - secure remote backup.
I've got ssh, rsync and encFS installed and working individually, and also rsync using ssh. Do you have to manually mount the encrypted filesystem every time you log in?

Cue Twilight Zone music: It all just somehow... works. It's eerie! [In high-pitched shrieking voice:] "The computer is READING MY MIND!!!" [Insert tinfoil hat comment here]
I feel a newletter article coming on. Gilbert will be pleased.

Their was also an article in one of the Linux Magazines (Journal I think) about using GPG, tar, etc to do remote backups that were encrypted.
