Hello Everyone,

First of all thanks for the response. Am trying to respond to many people in
one go...

process (no extra password typing need happen).

This looks promising. Will check it out. But a root will be able to
copy/modify/read files when the user is logged in. I dont think it is
possible that root have no access even when the user is logged in. That
might require changes to the kernel?

login?

Yes it could. But I have a feeling a Encrypted File System might be a better
bet.

I am looking for something for Linux, as that is the OS I will be working
on.

Thanks once again to all those who responded.
