There are a limited number of place where a piece of software can leak

1.	to /tmp:		Its encrypted
2.	to /var/tmp:		Its encrypted
3.	to somewhere on ~/	I have /home encrypted
4.	left in swap		its encrypted
5.	in a core dump after a crash:	use ulimit (see man bash) to
					limit core dump size to 0

So, encrypting one to five as mentioned by Doug above the
use of easypg will be more secure. Am I right?
