On my old Red Hat systems I used to use PGP to securely delete and wipe files. What I mean is delete the file so it can not be recovered even from the bits because the bits are scrambled on the delete.
The commands where something like
pgp -w file
or
for i in somedir/*; do pgp -w $i;done
Is there an equivalent software package on SuSE? I have not yet been able to find it.

gpg maybe? It doesn't have a -w option, but it does have pgp compatibility modes. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
