is shred available?
Is there an OpenBSD equivalent to the Linux 'shred' command, something
that will not just delete a file, but will overwrite it with random
data a number of times? What would it be called?
>From what I've heard of the kinds of detail that went into 'shred',
like encouraging the disk head to move as much as possible to
leave no trace of one or zero in its path, it doesn't sound, ah,
highly portable.
