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. I put the following comments at the top of the file:
# The information contained herein is confidential. If you are
# reading this without my permission you are in violation of
# ethical law. -- gam
#
# "Ha! What makes you think someone's going to stop reading this
# because of a violation of ethical law?"
#
# Oh...
