- Use muFS (multiuser FileSystem). It gives you unix-like file permissions
- for users, groups and others. When the files are protected nobody can
- access them without your or root's password or removing the muFS with
- HDToolBox (which should also be protected). It is not 100% secure, but
- then again, there's no such thing as 100% security. At least it provides
- security against any occassional bypassers and slows down serious
- crackers.
