*NOTHING* is secret from root -- that's just the way Unix works.

The best you can ever hope for is to *be* root yourself, and just not let 
anyone else know your password.

If I really wanted to send a fax that I didn't want certain people seeing, I'd 
use a beige box to hack into a disinterested third party's telephone line -- 
some old granny in a different part of town with which I had no connections, 
maybe -- and try not to get caught doing the deed.

Plus I'd be bearing in mind that my plausible deniability would be seriously 
compromised:  once the fax was sent, there would be no way to control who 
gets to see it anymore.
