\_ If you want to make sure a file goes bye-bye try srm, secure rm (I
\_ haven't).
IIRC, there was a discussion about a secure rm like thing on BUGTRAQ
not too long ago and basically it was saying rude things about a) swap
and b) that any current linux-based "secure removal" tool was doomed
to fail, probably when you thought it was really needed. I think the
tool was 'scratch' or 'scrub' or something like that. There was much
larting to be had by all on that topic.
The solution was to use only a crypted filesystem in the first place.
That way the data bits will be lost in the noise.
BTW, they aren't necessarily security experts, but they play them on
BUGTRAQ.
