Yes - nothing stops this if you do not adequately protect the file using the
system filesystem. Since there is absolutely no need for users to ever see
the gdb file or, witht he use of Alias configuration, even know it's
position in the filesystem, it is easy enough to fully protect it.

answered already - dleete the metadata but make sure you keep a copy and
managing metadata change after that is a little more thought provoking.
