Yes this is now working, but default file manager is useless... I'd suggest using GPE file manager.

Thanks all

any tips on mounting a truecrypt folder and allowing user access to it.

If I try to run "truecrypt /media/mmc1/data.crypt /media.tc" as user it askes me for the administrator password but wont accept it for some reason.

If I change to root and run the same command I can mount my truecrypt file and see it's contents as user root but it is not available for normal users.

Cant chmod the directory /media/tc either

Yeah, their is two methods that should work.
1. Create the /media/tc folder as owned as user, and then mount your tc folder as a sub-folder of /media/tc
2. Edit your sudoers, and add the truecrypt binary object as one that requires no password. (I probably should do this by default!)

Ok - So I've discovered that there is no need to re-invent the wheel.

To get a simple file browser and CIFS SAMBA i.e. windows shares,
I would suggest
in this order
1. Install Easy Debian
2. Run Debian LXDE ('more' menu)
3. Run 'Terminal Emulator'
4. type 'apt-get update'
5. type 'apt-get install rootsh'
6. type 'apt-get install smbclient'
7. type 'apt-get install konqueror'
now you have access to konqueror (familiar app with tabbed browsing for local files and any smb://servername share

All very easy and confirmed working.

Very happy!

oweng: just some small changes:

1. Install Easy Debian
2. Run Debian chroot (red swirl in 'more' menu)
3. type 'apt-get update'
4. type 'apt-get install smbclient'
5. type 'apt-get install konqueror'
6. Run Debian LXDE
now you have access to konqueror...

Nathan,

For the record point one does not work - no matter who the owner of /media/tc is once truecrypt mounts it, the owner seems to become whomever called truecrypt.

Point 2 however does work and a simple sudo trucrypt worked.

On a side note I cant seem to pass the password as a command line option - it claims that the password was wrong and reprompts me for it. When I type it in then it works fine. Any idead on this?

I am using the option --password=MYPASS

you are missing the --non-interactive parameter. this works for me:
Code:
~ $ truecrypt newtc /mnt/tc/ -m nokernelcrypto --non-interactive --password=test

1 didn't seem necessary for me. user had permissions by default. I created mount dir as root and ran truecrypt as user
Code:
Nokia-N900-51-1:/media# mkdir tc
Nokia-N900-51-1:/media# exit
~ $ truecrypt /home/user/newtc /media/tc/ -m nokernelcrypto --non-interactive --password=test
~ $ ls /media/tc/
apt.xvcg  test.doc

Sweet thanks - somehow I missed that non-interactive part in the man pages of truecrypt
