    Dear all,

    I have a directory on an external disk encrypted the directory
    (and its content) I then connected the disk to another computer,
    logged in as administrator and guess what?! I could change the
    user rights of that "encrypted directory" and have full access to
    it?

    Any ideas how I can avoid this and make sure a "key" is required
    before any (including administrator of OTHER computers) can amend
    user rights to encrypted directories?

    Many thanks
