One use for me is an encrypted directory - it mounts a file in my home directory on a mount point in my home directory. As long as I provide the proper pass phrase, it gets mounted, with encryption/decryption handled for me. I am not sure, but it might also be used for opening up things like zip files, tar archives, etc. It may also handle mounting Windows/Samba shares for the user, instead of system mounts. This should give you enough to look into it deeper if you are interested. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
