<h3>I successfully opened a volume. How can I access the data now?</h3>
<p><i>CryptoBox-Server</i>: you should ask your administrator. In case
you are the administrator, then you should take a look at the configuration
file for the <i>MountDir</i> setting. Publish this directory via your
favourite fileserver (e.g. samba, webdav, nfs, ftp, ...) and tell your
users how to reach it.</p>
<p><i>CryptoBox-CD</i>: browse the network neighborhood for the CryptoBox server
(windows), scan the network (KDE or Gnome) or type something like the
following into your favourite terminal to mount a volume:<br/>
<tt>smbmount //IP_OF_CRYPTOBOX/VOLUME_NAME /media/FOO</tt></p>

<h3>Recently I partitioned my harddisk. Now I can open the volume without a
password. Isn't it encrypted anymore?</h3>
<p>The partition manager creates non-encrypted volumes by default. If you want
to enable encryption for a volume, then you have to format it. Be aware
that this will erase all data of the volume.</p>

<a name="user_access"></a>
<h3>How can I restrict access to certain data?</h3>
<p>The CryptoBox does not support user and access management for now. Everyone
in your local network can access all open volumes for reading and writing.
This behavior is based on the assumption, that there are no evil guys in
your local network. Please take care for this!</p>
<p>For the next major release (v0.4) we plan to implement user and access
management.</p>
</div>
<div class="content faq">
<a name="use_of_users"></a>
<h3>There is a <i>user manager</i> available via <i>preferences</i>.
What is it good for?</h3>
<p>These administrative users can access restricted parts of the CryptoBox
(e.g. the plugin manager or the network settings).</p>
<p>Users who just want to open and close volumes do not need an
administrative account.</p>
