I have actually been using encfs for a few years now to encrypt
completely my home directory.

I would prefer to have users on local network with uncomplicated access
to the NFS export, so I may end up with some automatic mounting of the
encfs share during startup w/o need of a manually entered password.

This would create some unnecessary cpu load for my light-weight server,
especially when considering that I do not need encryption on local
network.

Well, I need to think it through a bit and possibly test.

Milan
