Thing is that only way to gain access to that box is to physically break into the office, grab the box can run before security guards arrive, so storing info in encrypted form is quite adequate for the situration. Of course it would be better if encryption is done on the client side and theoretically it could be transparent too -- for example NFS client for Windows that crypts the file data (anybody heard of such?) -- everyday.com -- Tasuta e-post, SMS-id ja aadressiraamat.
