Pardon the clumsy title, but I read somewhere that 8.10 was supposed to have an in-built encryption thingy. Well, I wouldn't mind it for the laptop, but where to find it?
Any ideas?

Re: encryption thingy
I took a quick browse of the 8.10 release notes for the RC and back to the Beta, and I don't see an encryption feature mentioned:

Re: encryption thingy
Right you got me looking for myself
(it is half time - English football). This is from the Ubuntu website. Am on the desktop at the mo so no need to try it yet.
Encrypted Private Directory
The ecryptfs-utils package was recently promoted to Ubuntu main, with support for EncryptedPrivateDirectory (per-user encrypted ~/Private directories).
To test, simply open up Terminal (by going Applications → Accessories → Terminal.) and type:
*
sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils auth-client-config
*
sudo auth-client-config -p ecryptfs_standard -t pam-auth,pam-session,pam-password
*
