I think what we are hoping for is a jack for a mouted switch (either
internal or external) to turn the WP on or off manually. It would be 
nice to be able to do it remotely, but in all cases that is no better
than deleting the "mount" command during init. PGP is supposed to 
be dropped from development now (open source anyway). GPG would 
probably be better, but if going that route, maybe RSA/DSA would be the
most secure route.

If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question!
