Hi Christian,
over all, I understand your arguments and mostly agree. Maybe a more
constructive was discussing approaches that would hinder mere Knoppix
users from reading that file.
How about creating an encrypted loop device - maybe with hard coded
key ;)
How about patching ldap and give it a backdoor for cipux/merging both
tools etc. or using ldap caching tools (libnss?) ...
Most of those approaches apply sole obscurification without adding any
extra security. But well, if it is just to keep out plain Knoppix
users ;)
Regards
Ralf
