I am user of a Unix-server (actually IRIX) that is connected with the
internet. I am also quite a newbie on Unix, so my question now is, if
the administrators (or you call them super-users AFAIK) are able to
check and read my data that I store in my account. And could they
possibly trace all my actions?

Very probably you can't know how this is in my special case, but maybe
there are some standards in the Unix-OS architecture that make an
intrusion into the privacy impossible.

Thank you!
