The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

The 'always' above raises a potentially critical point that I don't think
has been mentioned in this thread. I attended a Tivoli presentation on new
features in TSM 4.1 which stated that only the Windows client would have
encryption support. As far as I know, the Windows client is still the only
one with encryption support.
