So, is there a 'sure way' to delete a file? >From what I understand, if foo isn't the last hard link to the file, and `rm foo` will NOT delete the file... Say if the current version of OpenSSH has a security hole, and some user create a hard link to it, it would be the that version of OpenSSH will be kept even if I decide to update the system that updates OpenSSH? (Just using OpenSSH as an arbitrary example.) In such a case, is there a way to make sure that the old version of OpenSSH is deleted?
