That's actually not too hard (data retention and confidentiality
policies). I did some work on it when in the Inferno Business  Unit,
based on my journalfs. As far as I can tell it doesn't appear in the
Vita distribution. Maybe it was lost. The design satified bank
regulations.

When I left the Unit(s) and went upstairs I was confused for weeks by
questions about "where is this", "where is that". /home/brucee/src I
would say (IBU used Suns and god knows what else).

It turned out that some pointy headed sys admin had deleted my home
directory. OK then thhe backups. NO! Our home directories were never
backed up! I told the VP that if that disk crashed he would lose over
a $1 million of work. Things may have changed then - but I doubt it.
At least two sysadmins were sacked from that unit, a rare thing at the
Labs.

If someone needs something like this I might be able to find some
code, on a ZIP disk that probably won't work.
