you could add support for the +s attr. zero-out current contents on delete. it's sloppy, but like hans said, anyone serious about it should never let it hit the disk unencrypted. i'm the author of (one) wipe (aka ya-wipe, there's more than one "wipe") and i made a point to be clear in the docs and on wipe.sf.net that encryption is the only complete solution. my app is most useful for using on whole drives, if you're going to sell it on ebay or something, and you want non-secret personal stuff off (or at least invisible to almost all). -- Tom Vier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DSA Key ID 0xE6CB97DA
