    > Does OpenBSD 3.5 support encrypted filesystems?

    one way: consider using vnconfig
    another way: see cfs (ports security/cfs)

    > And if so, how can I create one?

    for vnconfig:
     # dd if=/dev/zero of=mycryptedfile.fs bs=1024 count=1024
            to create a 1M file (sure you'll prefer a bigger size...)
     # vnconfig -cvk svnd0 mycryptedfile.fs
            enter you (secret) key (be sure to be the only one on the host...)
     # newfs /dev/svnd0c
     # mount /dev/svnd0c /mount/point
     # cd /mount/point
            here you are :-)

    for cfs: consult man pages bundled with the package.

    Cheers,
