Howdy, I been thinking. Yea, that's dangerous. lol If I logout of KDE, or have the screen locked, ctrl+alt=L key sequence, how secure is that if I have good passwords that are virtually impossible to crack? My login manager is sddm. As a example, if someone breaks into my home, is there a easy way to get past that? I recall the old windoze 98 days where a certain key sequence would bypass the password prompt. Is there a way known to crooks and such that can bypass or easily defeat passwords?
I'm aware that if a person boots up where no password is required, that will bypass, even as root if I recall correctly. I'm just looking for something that is even easier than that. Also, if I have a encrypted hard drive open and mounted and then cut off power, doesn't that disable the decryption for the drive? In other words, I pull the plug and someone powers it back up, the drive is encrypted again and requires a password. Also, I'm planning to reorganize and encrypt some more stuff here. I want to remove one hard drive from my home thingy. Is it really as easy as pvmove /dev/sdx the device I want to remove? From my understanding I need to reduce the file system first. Is that correct? I'm often amazed at how easy some things can be done with LVM. Thanks to all for the thoughts. Dale :-) :-)
