Encrypt users mail directories with tomb - HOWTO #496

Unanswered

Hi users,

On my server there are a couple of mail accounts, all under /home/user-a-b-c/Maildir

Now, as user root I want to use tomb to encrypt the mail directories, but the documentation tells me:

"Tomb uses internally the "mount -o bind" command to bind locations inside the tomb to locations found in $HOME."
Roots home directory is "/root", as expected.

So this "bind-hooks" file will NOT work

user-a/Maildir /home/user-a/Maildir
user-b/Maildir /home/user-b/Maildir
user-c/Maildir /home/user-c/Maildir
user-d/Maildir /home/user-d/Maildir
... and so on

It would be VERY unpractical to run a tomb command for every single user of the system.

Any good ideas?

Martin.
