+==Installing with encrypted filesystem - SME10==
+In the installer for SME10, the option is given to modify the partitions created automagically.  If you go into the (manual) partition edit screen then there is a tick box for the mainroot partition "encrypt data". If you tick then "update" then "done", then after allowing the installation to proceed it will ask for a passphrase. This is put in twice to verify it. Do not forget or lose this phrase else you will NOT be able to boot into your server.
+Once the installation is complete, then at the beginning of every boot the system will ask for the passphrase.  This means that you will always need a console on the server during the boot process.

setting explanation
strong	The password is passed through Cracklib for dictionary type word checking as well as requiring upper case, lower case, number, non alpha and a mimimum length of 7 characters.
normal	The password requires upper case, lower case, number, non alpha and a minimum length of 7 characters.
none	The password can be anything as no checking is done. Please note that "none" does not mean no password, it just means no password strength checking, so you can enter any (weak) password you want as long as it is at least 7 characters long.

	Note:
	A system installed from the SME 7.1 CD will have the 5 repositories above enabled. A system installed from the SME 7.0 iso and updated to 7.1 or later will only have the 3 SME Server repositories enabled. After updating from SME 7.0 to SME 7.1.x you should enable the Centos - os & Centos - updates repositories in server-manager.

	Note:
	If you have added the internal or external server's domain name as a virtual domain on the SME Server, you must remove it prior to issuing these commands. The server-manager domains panel will show the proxy pass entry but you will not be able to edit it, see ~~bugzilla:1612~~

	Warning:
	It is strongly advised not to set the password strength setting to none as this will lower the security of your server significantly.

	Note:
	PAM module requires passwords to be at least 6 characters long, so setting a password that is shorter than that may cause other problems later. SME server default settings enforce 7 character passwords.

	Note:
	ssh, ftp and telnet do not work via an http "upstream" proxy, although they may work in conjunction with tsocks (available from the dag repository)
