On Linux machines, you can mount and unmount fully encrypted partitions
(encryption done by DES). If this partition is used to log messages in /var/log
or /var/adm, the game can begin.
DES Kernel encryption need a little hack, see the Cryptographis-Filesystems
HOWTO. When your linux boot, you can see this:
..
loop: registered device at major 7
loop: DES encryption available
