Hi,
I really don't understand why vendors like Sharp sell their PMTs or others their PDAs as business devices without the ability of encypting the data on it.
But Sharp did the right choice and we are working on Linux. So there will be a solution for this.
Some web searches showed me, I need to use a kernel module like fuse (
http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ ) or shfs (
http://shfs.sourceforge.net/ ) or another.
Till now I've tried to setup a toolchain to compile a Z kernel or modules for it but without sucess. Not on my slackware laptop, nor on a Vmware box with gcc 2.95 compiler, nor on a cygwin installation, and finally not on the Z itself.
When installing the mplayer on the SL-C3000 I saw they provided the bvdd kernel module. So it's possible to install additional modules without refreshing the ROM.
My plea: If anybody has a working environment to compile a kernel module like the bvdd for mplayer, please compile the fuse module for the standard Zaurus c3k Sharp ROM.
Maybe any other encyption module would be more usefull? Hopefully not the wrong question to get a module soon?
I will work to setup my kernel environment to compile one on my own, but I think this will last some time.
Kind regards,
Oliver
PS: Some companies I'm working for do not allow to take confidential data on a laptop or PDA without beeing crypted. And I don't want to giveaway my personal data in case of loosing the PMT neither.
