AIX EFS deficiencies

Encrypted File System:

There are a few items that need to be addressed.

1. the ability to have a users keystore(s) loaded automatically in a cron/at job.

2. the ability to have root keystores loaded automatically for inittab processes.

In both cases it would be nice to have an option/flag type setting that would apply to each entry so we could choose whether to load or not before execution of the process

    Work is ongoing to provide logical volume based (disk partition) data at rest encryption solution to meet the increasing demand for pervasive encryption. Expect users gradually migrate to the new encryption solution.
