Dear All I have noticed that from SLAX liveCD, one has total and free access to the home partition of all Linux (Fedora) accounts in the hard-disk of the computer. In this way, with a SLAX disk, everyone can spy all accounts in the hard-disk. How can this be prevented?
If you have phyical access to a machchine, you have always the complete control over the machine. You can boot with rescure CD and set root's password to whatever you want. That's not a big risk though!
In your case encrypting the home partitions would be a solution. Try 'man cryptsetup' on a Linux 2.6 machine.
There are plenty of documents concerning partition encrpting. Google helps! Use ecnryption only if you understand, what you are doing!! greets Boris
