Hi!
I've posted the final versions of a few simple, free shell scripts that i've been working on to make data hygiene more convenient on *nix systems. Thanks to list members who helped test them and contributed improvements.
Too simple, I'd say. Imagine sensitive file (/etc/shadow?). It is
subsequently freed and now is reused by one-byte /var/something/lock.
No programs I know will wipe this properly, not even on ext2 :-(.
