I have been lurking on the list since I left the Phoenix area for Texas
earlier this year. I now need answers from those I know and trust. Help!

In the past, I have used both wipe and shred to remove files from a disk
so they cannot be recovered. I am now having to do this under both Linux
(SuSE SLES-9) and AIX (v5.2) where both use a journaled file system. All
of the documentation says these tools will fail under these conditions.
The final solution needs to handle ext3, Reiser and JFS.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

dban (dban.sf.net) is probably by far the best. However, of the filesystems you listed, it only covers two: ext2/3, and reiserfs. JFS is not supported AFAIK. UFS, however, is.
