cryptsetup-luks on fedora: step 2, 3
Remove the user whose Home directory we just backed up
We will be recreating the unpriviledged user (jmaher) after we have encrypted and re-mounted our /home directory, so we should clean things up first and remove that account:
# userdel jmaher
Step 3: Get the correct cryptsetup version
You need the version of cryptsetup with luks enabled. You can determine if the correct version of cryptsetup is install using the command:
# cryptsetup --help
You should see "cryptsetup-luks" displayed near the top of the output.
If you do not have cryptsetup, you can install it using yum (assuming yum has been properly configured):
# yum -y install cryptsetup-luks
The -y option will assume that the answer is yes to any question that would be presented during the execution of yum.
