10 *g*, good point. However, I'm willing to take the risk on just these
11 two: passwd doesn't contain anything of considerable interest. shadow
12 contains exactly two passwords, both as sha256-sums (or similar, did not
13 really check). The passwords themselves are in excess of 90 bit entropy,
14 depending on how you estimate it.

16 Most of the rest which might be of interest and is usually in /etc can
17 be symlinked there from a safe location in /var.
