Comment (by axeld):

 If security is a concern, you might want to use DriveEncryption's ability
 to decrypt and mount any volume you want to via login (it also comes with
 its own Login application). For example, I use that to mount a volume that
 contains passwords, mails, etc.

 For the concerns of the current Haiku, I think it would be nice to have
 François' Login as an optional package.

 We could let the Bootscript call a user specific Loginscript instead of
 launching any user applications like Tracker. That would possibly ease
 installing something like Login.
