Description

cfs - Cryptographic file system implemented as a user-space NFS server

This is CFS, Matt Blaze's Cryptographic File System.  It provides
transparent encryption and decryption of selected directory trees.
It is implemented as a user-level NFS server and thus does not
require any kernel modifications.
For an overview of how to use it, read "${PREFIX}/share/doc/cfs/notes.ms"
and the manual pages.  There is a paper describing CFS at:
http://www.crypto.com/papers/cfs.pdf

===============================================================================
Quick start instructions:
- add the following entry to /etc/exports:
/usr/local/cfsd-bootstrap 127.0.0.1
- create the default CFS mountpoint (if you want to use a different
mountpoint, set the cfsd_mountpoint variable in /etc/rc.conf):
# mkdir /crypt
- enable rpcbind, mountd and cfsd in /etc/rc.conf:
cfsd_enable="YES"
mountd_enable="YES"
- start mountd and cfsd, or restart:
# service mountd start
# service cfsd start
