Apr 21, 2011I have an NFS share hosted at a file server for several machines. I set up an encfs encrypted file tree in this. First, I created a directory in the NFS mounted tree where I wanted the encrypted files to be store (/home/nfs/phil/private). Second, I created a mount point where I wanted to access those files in the clear view (/home/phil/nfs-phil-private). Third I mounted encfs with the simple command "encfs /home/nfs/phil/private /phil/nfs-phil-private". During this mounting, it asked me for a pass phrase to encrypt the files with. Fourth, I copied some files into "/phil/nfs-phil-private". I saw that files with cryptic names were created in "/home/nfs/phil/private", along with a file named ".encfs6.xml".
That was on one machine named "lorentz". Then I switched to another machine named "euler". I created the same mount point here (/home/phil/nfs-phil-private). I verified that /home/nfs/phil/private already existed, as did "/home/nfs/phil/private.encfs6.xml". So I tried the same "encfs /home/nfs/phil/private /phil/nfs-phil-private" command. This time it failed. Here is all the output up to the first prompt:
Code:
15:05:23 (FileUtils.cpp:375) Archive exception: stream error
15:05:23 (FileUtils.cpp:326) Found config file /home/nfs/phil/private/.encfs6.xml, but failed to load
Creating new encrypted volume.
[code]....
The first two lines certainly appear to be some kind of error. I can cat the .encfs6.xml files just fine, so I do have permission to read it. It had not even prompted me for a password, yet. Anyone know what the deadl with this is? A possible cause is that the first encfs is version 1.6.1 (ubuntu 10.10 packaged as 1.6.1-1) and the second encfs is version 1.5.2 (ubuntu 9.10 packaged as 1.5.2-1).
Ubuntu Security :: CryptKeeper And Encfs ?
Feb 24, 2010I could not find details of what CryptKeeper was doing and I worked this out. It shows how to open and close CryptKeeper files using encfs form the command line. I hope this helps others.
Ubuntu karmic 9.10. CryptKeeper 0.9.4-1 encfs 0.5.2-1ubuntu1 also works in Mint8. Tom Morton author of CryptKeeper site: [url]
How Gnome Cryptkeeper works with encfs
In CryptKeeper create a new encrypted folder:
The directory above is created and also another hidden one called: /home/ian/.aaaaaaxxxxTestCryptKeeper_encfs which contains one hidden file called .encfs6.xml. As you create additional folder and files in the /home/ian/aaaaaaxxxxTestCryptKeeper additional folders and files with encrypted names are created in /home/ian/aaaaaaxxxxTestCryptKeeper 4L9KBI4IeoAKOoZ,IwzVyn2VPGysXt-JCbStUej5Ewnn90. These mirror any files and folders which you create in the encrypted directory except that there names and contents are totally encrypted.
The above CryptKeeper directory can be created anywhere within the Linux file system, for example, on another partition. In each case two directories are created within the parent (in this example /home/ian/), one with the original directory name, the other preceeded with a "." and followed by "_encfs".
How to open a directory created with CryptKeeper using encfs.
Provided you copy the directory like .aaaaaaxxxxTestCryptKeeper_encfs and all its contents, it can be opened anywhere using the following command. (Note that full path names are needed.)
encfs /home/ian/.aaaaaaxxxxTestCryptKeeper_encfs /home/ian/aaaaaaxxxxTestCryptKeeper
The mount command will then show:
If /home/ian/.aaaaaaxxxxTestCryptKeeper_encfs does not exist you will asked if you wish to create it and you will be asked for a password twice. In this case it will not be in CryptKeeper unless you then import it.)
If it is a CryptKeeper file then it appears in CryptKeeper file list as opened and can be closed from there. To close from the command line type:
Note unmount will not work for these files.
Ubuntu Security :: How To Disable Encfs
Jun 19, 2011Set up a few machines yesterday to test out some parallel code. Just for fun, I selected the "encrypt users files" option when setting up Ubuntu (10.10). I had never used the option in years past. Now I'm finding it a pain. EG., ssh requires me to already have a login to the machine before it will let me log in w/o a password (eg., using id_rsa.pub and authorized_keys).
Similarly, I have no reason to encrypt files on these machines. They're just crunching numbers. Is there an easy way to disable this? Or do I need to delete my original user and make another one (with all the su privelages, etc...) w/o an encrypted file system / home directory.
Ubuntu Security :: Encfs: Preserve Timestamps On A Shared Encrypted Folder?

encfs: preserve timestamps on a shared encrypted folder?
Ubuntu Security :: Encfs: Preserve Ownership On A Shared Encrypted Folder?
Mar 3, 2010I would like to create an encrypted folder which can be shared by users included in the users group.To do so I used encfs:
Code:
cd somewhere
sudo mkdir encrypted visible
sudo chown root:users encrypted visible
sudo chmod 770 encrypted visible
encfs /somewhere/encrypted /somewhere/visible -o allow_other -o umask='007' -o uid='0'
Now if a user (included in users) creates a new document in the visible folder, that will be
Quote:
-rwxrwx--- 1 root users 0 2010-03-02 14:19 new file
While I would like it to be
Quote:
-rwxrwx--- 1 user users 0 2010-03-02 14:19 new file
Mounting encfs without the option uid='0' gives same results with only difference that instead of root the owner is the user who mounted encfs. Also copying a file owned by different user rather than root goes to the same: for example having in my home a file like
Quote:
-rwxr-x--- 1 me users 0 2010-03-02 14:30 myfile
and trying to copy it to the encrypted shared folder with
Code:
sudo cp -a -v ~/myfile /somewhere/visible
will give something like
Quote:
cp: failed to preserve ownership for `~/myfile': Operation not permitted
And the copied file on the shared encrypted folder will be as usual:
Quote:
-rwxrwx--- 1 root users 0 2010-03-02 14:30 myfile
Is there a way to mount encfs in order to preserve ownership?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Rsnapshot Over SSHFS And ENCFS
Apr 29, 2010Right, just a quick question about rsnapshot over sshfs and encfs. I've set up an encfs filesystem, and when mounted on the remote machine remotely:
Code:
touch foo.bar
Code:
cp -al foo.bar foo.car
Works as one would expect it to.
The same is true on the local machine (The EncFS has External IV chaining disabled). However, when the remote dir is sshfs mounted on my computer here, and then encfs'd to a decrypt mount on my computer, I can move files to it, and they go over the network and get encrypted, however:
Code:
cp -al <file> <file>
No longer works, I get 'not implemented' errors...
I thought since I don't have External IV chaining this shouldn't be an issue - I've tried without any of the file chaining options, again to no effect. All work remotely, or with both locally, but not over sshfs. Is this a quirk of sshfs?
Software :: Encfs Not Working All The Way?
Apr 13, 2011I am trying to get Encfs working on Ubuntu 10.10 with only partial success. I am using the Ubuntu package which is version 1.6.1. I am also trying to build 1.7.4 source on Ubuntu 10.10 which is failing.
First the problem with the Ubuntu package, which I realize may be fixed in 1.7.4. I am mounting a clear directory with the --reverse option to have an encrypted view of this data. This so far works, although I do not know if it really works correctly. I used rsync to copy all the encrypted data to a third directory outside of this first mounting. Then I do a second mounting (without --reverse) using that copy as the source, to make a mountpoint with a clear view of the copied encrypted files. This fails as no files show up at all.
I am doing it this way because my intended first use for Encfs is to copy an encrypted view of a local physically secured backup directory containing clear data to another remote machine where sometimes it is not physically secure. Transfer is by ssh over rsync, but that is not sufficient security for the remote machine. So the role of Encfs is to be sure the data is never in a clear state on that machine when the machine is not attended. This location is the home of the owner of the company who is not always at home. The machine is, in theory, at risk for theft when no one is at home (this is the risk we want to address). The owner will personally have the Encfs password, and may need access to some of these files. So it would be treated as an encrypted store and Encfs would be used to view it in the clear by manually mounting it that way (e.g. not with --reverse).
I am doing the test entirely on my desktop at the moment, as described above. I am using a script to carry out the entire setup of my tests, so it is fully reproducible, and that configuration can be incrementally changed as desired. I have a suspicion that certain messages resulting from the setup may indicate the problem. This is from the first mount with --reverse:
Code:
Creating new encrypted volume.
Standard configuration selected.
--reverse specified, not using unique/chained IV
Configuration finished. The filesystem to be created has

Networking :: Mount Encfs On From A Nfs Source?
Feb 17, 2011I have two computers on my network, both are running Ubuntu 10.10. I wish to access encfs-encrypted directories on a remote computer from my local computer. I used nfs to mount the remote encrypted directory onto my local machine, and then I used encfs to decrypt. But because of nfs' use of some UID-type ownership convention rather than user:group, I have no access to the directory I just mounted.I want my local machine's software to access the files, so ssh login is probably not a solution, and I would like to avoid using encfs' --public option if possible.

General :: Is It Safe To Mount Encfs Via Nfs On Several Machines Simultaneously
Mar 25, 2010 There are some encfs folders with private data on the server and all data is exported via nfs to all other omputers in the house.I can mount the encfs folders on another computer (using encfs command) to work with the data, but I never dared to mount it on more than one computer simultaniously, because I fear the encrypted data might get corrupted if more than one computer mount and access it at the same time.
So I want to ask about your experience: Is it safe to mount an encfs folder on several computers at the same time? All computers use "hard" and "sync" as nfs mount options to minimize risks of data loss. But can I access the folders simultaniously, or do I risk corrupting the encfs encryption and lose everything?
Slackware :: Recent Openssl Patch Broke Encfs?
Mar 8, 2010I started up my machine this morning and entered my password to encfs as I do each day and was greeted with a message telling me my password was incorrect. I tried several times, checked caps lock but no joy.
The message (which I didn't copy and paste unfortunately) mentioned ssl and I remembered that openssl was one of the security patches I applied at the weekend. So I removepkg'd the two openssl packages (v0.9.8m) and then installpkg'd the original ones that came with slackware 13.0 (v0.9.8k).

May 10, 2011I know it is wrong to use the "==" operator to compare the equality of two floating point numbers. Logically it would seem that if the "==" operator is not usable for floating point comparison, then the "<=" operator would also not be usable. Is this true? The lack of google search results on this topic made me think that it must be true. If that is true, then is it true that the only way to compare floats with <= or >= is with something like the code below? Code: bool smaller_than_or_equal(float a, float b) {
if ( fabs(a-b) < EPSILON){return true;}
else if (a < b) {return true;}
