There is a case indeed :-) For instance, fetchmail can have a default configuration file in there that contains email passwords. Surely other system programs may do similarly. Yes, there is little point in encrypting code, but it is probably easier to encode everything, thus making sure that nothing is forgotten. It also denies another person getting access to the computer to use it. Me, I encrypt a data directory, because it is simpler to do. But perhaps I should protect the entire laptop. Perhaps I would like to do it in firmware, but I don't know how. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
