Encrypted file systems make no difference but once you've got physical access to any system, a couple of FPGAs and its all over if the system is running. On a machine that is shut down the security of some PC class systems is actually now pretty good in particular the hard drive passwords are drive implemented and so hard to crack, and some system passwords are properly implemented on laptops too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
