Hello everyone,

I have a question. Lets sat that the root of a linux system has some
files that are meant to be private. He creates a folder and puts those
files in that folder. Naturally, other users cannot access these
files. (Permissions are accordingly adjusted)

If someone comes, opens the box, gets the hard drive and plugs it in
to another machine. Would he be able to access the files? Or would the
filesystem still prevent the access unless the required password (root
password) is provided? (I mean logging into the system as root)
