Er, short of making your own ROMs... about the only thing I can think of
that is somewhat feasable, but not very secure either is an encryption FS in
RDB which prompts you for a seed key, but thats also fairly easy to obtain

MuFS. Supposively v2 is in the works, I have not seen it, myself. I did look
at MuFS v1, and found that so mmany utilities for AmigaOS do not understand
the concept of 'What? I cant open this?' errorhandling, I decided to cut my
losses and not leave any evidenc^Wprivate data on my miggies >;)
