uh, pretty sure that's not the case. this hogwash about encrypted

partitions is getting old:
# df -h

Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on

...

/dev/sd0e     19.7G   19.7G  -1008M   105%    /enc/var

/dev/svnd0a   19.4G    2.3G   16.1G    12%    /var
did have to do the vnconfig thing in /etc/rc where you normally mount

/var on boot, but the whole thing IS encrypted.
