Note this might be against some rules in some companies, the company own
the PC, everything on it and all your e-mail, it is theirs not the person
sitting at it... if they suspect you are hiding stuff on it they can
probably make you show them what it is... in most places having root on a
box does not mean the admin is going through all the files and usually
there is rules about that also... what admin has the spare time to
bother?..
