Hi, I'll catch the thread from a different angle. Well .... if you had some data on your disk which you no longer need ,ie you've deleted and you want no one else to see anymore--eg product designs,past marketing strategies,etc.... Someone comes along and recovers it with Lost & Found or any undelete utility at large , would you find yourself in a spot of bother ?? To rectify this maybe you need something like what I'll call a 'File Shredder', which overwrites your original data in a form so that it cannot be recovered using certain prescribed standards. 1) How important is something like that in a Linux Server or a Linux Box ? 2) Are there any packages implementing this already ?
