I use Symantec Utilities for the Mac (SUM).  It has HD Partition which
will encript a partition with password protection.  I use it to store
my personal data so that other people can use my machine without
accessing my checkbook, letters, etc.

I think this package is a good investment for anyone with a disk
drive.  The shield init has saved me several times.

I haven't upgraded to SUM II yet, but I suppose I'll do it when I get
the chance.
