To summarize: I opposite super-users poking in otherwise private (ie, readable only by the owner) files. Nonetheless, for purely technical as well as illicit reasons, it happens anyway. Right or wrong, it *does* happen anyway, and for your own protection you should assume that. One of my private files is a phone book of personal (non-business) numbers.
