A revelation about revelation]

Let me try this again. Maybe I missed a response.

It was mentioned yesterday that revelation could be used to store
passwds. I have a question about this. When I wrote a script to do this
I included a password that was needed to access the passwd database.

revelation does not have such a feature. So if  someone got root access
to your machine they could find out all your passswds.

Am I missing something? This seems like a terrible security flaw with
the program.
