Re: Root sending messages to users

I do not think that they can crack root without my 8 character
upper/lower/number password. Can they? How would having my own account
help?

- From these articles, I infer that the Swiss secret intelligence
service cracked encrypted files in 1-3 years. Maybe they had help
from the NSA? Maybe it was weak encryption? Maybe the Swiss
decrypters are very good?


That's fine. To even get to the encrypted files they will need to
crack the password on the machine. Then they will need to suspect that
I have files as valuable as the nuclear secrets in the article. That
to me is acceptable risk. Thanks.
