And I must admit, that so far I have been seeing some quite suspicious entries (i.e. failed attempts) in my logs.

I had Zone Alarm installed until recently, but since it was causing me quite some problems, I decided to remove it and didn´t replace it. My error...
Hopefully it is encrypting the directories with a good algorithm instead of just hooking to the system calls and trying to regulte access - I couldn't tell you though because I'm not familiar with it. I use something called PGPdisk (modified version of 6.5.8) and have a few encrypted disks which are encrypted with passphrases. This isn't the best either (a lot of holes and possibilities) - bit every bit helps.
