Not really. tmpfs may be pushed to swap space, where it could be recovered if the attacker has enough interest. Try running gnupg withoug suid root. It will warn you that it won't be able to lock the memory to RAM, and therefore may be recoverable. This is the same thing. cmn -- Carlos Martín Nieto http://www.cmartin.tk "¿Cómo voy a decir bobadas si soy mudo?" -- CACHAI
