Just a question out of interest:

Let's say you put root's directory to another zfs dataset. This dataset has 
been backupped to an USB stick. I find it (the USB) and I take it to a new OI 
server and try to import it. 
This will work since it is not encrypted.
On the new server i am root with a new/different password. Since i am root, i 
can open the old root directory and read its bash history. 
Voila. I know all things from the old admin. 

Kind regards, 

The out-side
