   What about them?  Don't trust your NFS server (mount nosuid), and
   ...

I should have elaborated a bit ... :-)
The previous messages seemed to indicate that since the trend was
towards one user/machine, that a user's key files, etc. weren't
exposed to access by others.  My point was just that while more people
may have their "own" machine, those machines typically have networked
file systems, etc.  Granted, using appropriate security measures at
the host and network levels can minimize the exposure.
