Introduction
This guide will walk you through the steps to create a safe directory using PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) and EncFS (Encrypted File System). This setup allows you to automatically mount an encrypted directory when a user logs in and unmount it when they log out, providing enhanced security for sensitive data.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding, ensure you have:
- A Linux system with EncFS installed
- Root access to your system
Steps to Create a Safe Directory
- Install EncFS: Install EncFS on your Linux system using your package manager. For example, on Debian-based systems, you can use:
sudo apt-get install encfs- Create Encrypted Directory: Create an encrypted directory using EncFS. For example, to create an encrypted directory named
encrypted_dirin/path/to/mountpoint:
encfs /path/to/encrypted_dir /path/to/mountpoint- Set Permissions: Ensure that only the owner (usually the user) has read and write permissions to the encrypted directory:
chmod 700 /path/to/mountpoint- Configure PAM: Edit the PAM configuration file (
/etc/pam.d/common-sessionor similar) to automatically mount the encrypted directory when a user logs in and unmount it when they log out. Add the following line at the end of the file:
session optional pam_encfs.so- Test: Log out and log back in to test if the encrypted directory is automatically mounted.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully created a safe directory using PAM and EncFS. This setup provides enhanced security for sensitive data by automatically mounting an encrypted directory when a user logs in and unmounting it when they log out.
