Even if someone on your machine can read these files, it isn't a problem if you have a "real" o/s (like Linux) that controls access to user directories. 
P.S. : DON'T SHOUT, it's rude.

Ermm linux does have exploits of its own, if it can be exploited remotely what stops it from being cracked with physical access to the machine. *nix (linux/unix) might be more secure but nothing is a fortification, everything can be brought with enough practice, patience and luck, my friend [img]smile.gif[/img]
