From: Josjuar Lister <j...@tegosec.com>

Hello Coreutils team,

My name is Josjuar Lister, I am a 28 year old free-lance software developer 
from the United Kingdom.
My main work though is System Administration and Security, and of course I'm an 
avid Linux user.

Shred is a tool I often used beause I like many others, value my privacy and 
security.

I've often needed to securely delete many files in a directory and its 
subdirectories, but shred does not have a feature to do this.
Oftentimes, I have written scripts to recursively shred files in a directory, 
but I think it would be useful to have this feature built into the shred 
command itself.
I decided to add this feature to the shred command and I have tested it to 
ensure it works as expected.

I would appreciate it if you could review this patch and consider including it 
in the next release of coreutils.

This was previously discussed at:
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/rejected_requests.html#shred

The considerations haven't changed in the meantime,
so I'm not on for applying this.

thank you,
Pádraig.
