I happen to have the paper version of this magazine sitting next to my 
desk, in the round-toit stack of things to do.
I did read the article, and it should cover what you are looking for 
along with a few other nifty things like encrypting writable media (CD's 
and DVD's).

It was well written, and it is a bit dated now, but gives scriptable 
examples that will help you get started.  I believe OpenBSD has an 
encrypted filesystem and encrypted swap space option, but the last time 
I looked into that feature was a few years ago.
