I don't get it.  The most secure computer in the world is one that is in
a safe or vault with no connections to the outside.  There is an old
axiom, one that explains why RHEL can be booted into single user mode
with out a password.  If someone can touch your computer, you lost all
security.  So (speaking of servers) it has an automount, who cares?
They are in the DC and they could just clone the drives and walk away.
