Look at <http://radmind.org/contrib/LISA05/>.

Specifically, look for the loginWindow plugin that does the "create filevault for user if none exists", since it knows how to check.


That script just looks for the presence of a sparse disk image in a certain location on disk. That location changed between Panther and Leopard, and it could change again, which is why I was hoping there was some way using IOKit to differentiate between regular disk images and FileVault disk images.

Someone else suggested checking for the presence of ACLs, but that won't work at all for Panther users, and it will only work for Tiger users if they're running Server, so that one's out as well.
