As another possibility, add the following to the <head> of the page (frame)
in question:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX,FOLLOW">
<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE">

It is probably less likely to work, but does not expose sensitive pages to
curious visitors that look at robots.txt . You could of course utilise a
mixture of the two, which will stop crawling as well as indexing. It will
also prevent crawlers like Alexa's Web Archive from infiltrating and storing
such pages.

Best wishes,

Roy
