Does MacPorts have a version of rm that does secure removal of files (that is, scribbling over the disk so that info cannot be recovered)? I want this for files about my bank dealings---I'm not referring to files that come from MacPorts downloads.

Does MacPorts have a version of rm that (unlike Unix, but like Mac Os X) is undoable?

Metaquestion: how would one research this issue before writing in to this list? I tried but failed.

Thanks from [EMAIL PROTECTED]




David there is a rm replacement that mv's the files to the Trash instead of deleting them. You could then use the Mac OS "empty trash -- secure".

Is that what you want?
