Heh.  Of course, if someone with physical access to your machine is willing
to go that far, couldn't they just reset the root password anyway?  Or
reload the OS completely?  Or smash it with a sledgehammer?  I suppose if
they wanted to be stealthy...

If I ever *am* convinced to add it, I'd like to keep it simple, like ROT13
or something.
