"secure" internally I meant - ie the Unix permissions work, as against the 
UMSDOS system where normal rules don't apply. Of course it's still 
vulnerable to outside interference.

I used explore2fs a while back - it was unable to view anything except 
files, ie it couldn't open directories. This one looks as if it's getting 
"better".
