Lost any file lately?

Getting into this thread a little late.

Did anyone bother to mention the "pgp -w" command at all?

It is a lot easer to use than trying some of the other
things I have seen suggested so far.

Otherwise save yourself some headaches and use:
TCFS, CFS, and the like with the decryption key on a PCMCIA hard drive.
( I have done this )
Remove it each night and bury it in your yard under the scorpion pit.
( I don't do this because I have a pig )


I have also experimented with encrypting files into PostgreSQL with a lot
of success. No file on the filesystem and fast access from the database.

Eventually, you will find a better way to do file wiping and filesystem
encryption or you will end up someplace where it won't matter.
