if they have root, they have access to all memory and devices. including your terminal where you enter the passphrase/key, or the memory where the file is decrypted/read. encrypting the files will make things harder, but won't make it inaccessible to people who really want it. if you want to protect private information, don't put it on a remote server. -mike
