Doh!  I'm running 2.7 as well (upgraded from 2.6 via FTP)... I didn't
even realize this was an option.  However:

http://www.openbsd.org/28.html

definitely gives the impression that this is new to 2.8.

At any rate, I'm glad to see that it was already available... I've now
enabled it.  ;)

Still would like to hear any input about filesystem encryption of
course.  :)

(Thank you for informing me about the swap encryption.)
