The point is not using all linux-aware options to fix out design flaws made
generations before.

Encryption of the storage area and the datasaves looks *very* nessesary to me.
But it has to grow as standard option, aviable for all Sap-DB palttforms.
Linux, Windoze, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris.

Since the needed Libraries are LGPL, so it should not be a problem to use them
in the commercial/proprietary SAP side also.
