Hi,
I have an external Hard Disk that I need to password protect access to. I am on Kubuntu Feisty. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

You could build an entire encrypted filesystem on the external HD. FUSE is good with EncFS. Of course, that would mean you could only access the hard drive from a computer with FUSE installed, so that may not be feasible for you.
