If you believe you have a security risk involving physical access, then you
need to encrypt your files. There are even products that will create virtual
drives that are encrypted blocks on the hard disk (PGP Disk). Unfortunately,
I'm not aware of any for Linux. Anyone here know of one?

Sorry, must've misunderstood. I thought you said it was a fs exploit.
I kind of find it scary that I can 'break into' all of my files on an NT
system with a DOS bootup floppy. At least you can on Dos paritions...
but that really bugs me. Why bother with security at all when all you
need to have is a Win95 floppy disk?
