With YaST, you can create encrypted home directories for new or existing users. To
encrypt or modify encrypted home directories of already existing users, you need
to know the user's current login password. By default, all existing user data is copied
to the new encrypted home directory, but it is not deleted from the unencrypted di-
rectory.
WARNING: Security Restrictions
Encrypting a user's home directory does not provide strong security from other
users. If strong security is required, the system should not be physically shared.
Find background information about encrypted home directories and which actions
to take for stronger security in Section “Using Encrypted Home Directories” (Chap-
ter 10, Encrypting Partitions and Files, ↑Security Guide).
Procedure 10.4: Creating Encrypted Home Directories
1 Open the YaST User and Group Management dialog and click the Users tab.
2 To encrypt the home directory of an existing user, select the user and click
Edit.
Otherwise, click Add to create a new user account and enter the appropriate
user data on the rst tab.
3 In the Details tab, activate Use Encrypted Home Directory. With Directory Size
in MB, specify the size of the encrypted image le to be created for this user.
4 Apply your settings with OK.
