Hi Folks,

Maybe I'm insane to want to even consider doing this, but does anyone know
if it's possible to have FileVault set to automatically make all new users
that login to a machine use FileVault for their home directory by default?

Example: A new Active Directory user logs on and their newly created home
directory starts to use FileVault automatically.

Yes...I am crazy.

We were using some very interesting scripts to accomplish this on login for each account, but now we use WorkGroup Manager on 10.5 Server, and just check a single box.
