Basic Unix Secruity 101 - If the person has physical access to the
machine, there *IS* *NO* *SECURITY*. Want proof?
I pop the HD out, place it as slave on my machine, mount what I want, end
of story. Before this thread goes any further I recommend that anyone who
considers this a "threat" that is addressable by Debian to go read "Practical
Unix Security" from O'Reilly and Associates. Esp. anything relating to the
physical security of the machine.
