Yes, there is. If a folder or file is encrypted (with a different password), it is safe from root too. That’s what I’m after.

But root can scrape that password as soon as you enter it, and has access to the encrypted data as soon as it’s decrypted. That’s what I’m saying. If you think anything on a *nix system is “safe” from root or a user that can elevate to root, you’re deluding yourself with wishful thinking.
