you may want to try writing a cryptographic file system instead.
this would involve layering a filesystem over another ( and though Im not 
sure how), some work has been done on this at UCLA.

        Subject:        is there an sshfs for NetBSD ?

 

Hello,

  I would like to know if something like an sshfs (to mount a remote file
system using ssh) aldready exists in NetBSD. I think this can be pretty
usefull sometimes ...

Similar things seems to work with Linux :
http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/
http://shfs.sourceforge.net/
but I didn't find anything for *BSD.

In fact I ask this because I am a student in Epita (a french computer 
science
school) and we have to choose a project to work on from now to september,
and I am looking for an idea. The language and the subject can be 
anything,
but I'm pretty interested in kernel programming (even if I never worked on
something like this. I'm a newbie in kernel programming, but I have no 
problem
with C). I would like to know if someone is aldready working on something
like this, and/or if you have any advice for this. Or if you have an idea 
of
what could be a good and interesting project, don't hesitate to tell me.

Thanks
