Hi there,
I am going to use texmacs for some extremely delicate work. Maybe I'm
starting
to become a little paranoid, but rather that than the other way around. My
setup is:
I have the working directory and /tmp both mounted as Linux-tmpfs
directories.
The contents of the working directory are regularly backed up to a
gnupg-encrypted archive. Swapspace is deactivated (512M RAM ought to be
enough...)
At reboot all unencrypted data should be guaranteed to be irretrievably lost.
I myself can simply restore it from the last backup, being asked for my
passphrase.
Now, concerning texmacs: is there any risk sensitive data is written to other
places than the directory where the file resides (even temporarily)? I found
.TeXmacs/system/autosave.tm, but that seems to be used only for yet-unnamed
files. Printing, of course is an issue as well. Anything else I should take
care of?
Ciao,
Nobbi
