From the manual:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     When passing ‘--verify=contents’, the daemon computes the content
     hash of each store item and compares it against its hash in the
     database.  Hash mismatches are reported as data corruptions.
     Because it traverses _all the files in the store_, this command can
     take a long time, especially on systems with a slow disk drive.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is this still relevant remotely?  If an untrusted third-party has root
access to the system, they can probably tamper with both the database
and the store, right?
