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]

found it!

william-davis-computer-3:~ frstan$ port search srm
srm sysutils/srm 1.2.8 srm is a secure replacement for rm(1).

however after building it I got this:

william-davis-computer-3:~ frstan$ srm testfile
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _fdatasync
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/srm
  Expected in: flat namespace

dyld: Symbol not found: _fdatasync
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/srm
  Expected in: flat namespace

Trace/BPT trap


maybe we can fix that........
