Getting off topic, I've belatedly woken up to a major hole in the "security"
about which I'd been smug.
On the Linux OSs I've used, you need a password by default to log in. You
can drive a truck through that with a live cd. The one I've got let's you
log in as administrator (Linux = root) and have your evil way with anything
and everything on the hard drive.
Security involves physical security. If someone has physical access,
they can do almost anything they want
I'd use top quality software to encrypt a file with some confidence but
OpenOffice is not in that category. The password might be secure (although
there's a password cracker on www.ooomacros.org) but the encrypting can, it
seems, go awry.
