Which is why I recommended ecryptfs (I've only just noticed that the
previous posts mentioned encfs, that's a FUSE filesystem that is
unnecessary now the kernel have ecryptfs included).

Thanks,
I didn't know about that.
I'll try that, as I'm using encfs, and basically it works flawlessly.
But running without fuse, is better.

It's not the multiple passwords, it's separately locking each user's
data.
