linux encryption

[bubbles]

Is there a simpler way to make an encrypted container in CentOS. Something like "yum install whatever" and it's good to go?

Up until now I've been using loop-aes but it requires a kernel rebuild and patching a bunch of system files and compiling drivers and all kinds of crap. I'd rather use something simpler.

BTW how are you guys protecting sensitive info like customer databases, etc. on web servers?

if you taking about "encryption containers" as in files that get mounted as drive. you could try TrueCrypt, its what i use, works well, but im not running databases off of it.
