I am taking about over-writing or zeroing the hard-disk here, thereby ensuring nobody could analyse the hard-disk and retrieve a rm'd file. Surely such a tool should be a command line option to rm(1) or something... 2) Isn't it about time somebody wrote a nice GUI interface for all the system administration tasks ? I'd volunteer to do it myself, but I don't think I'm enough of a guru for that :) Sorta like a much improved version of /stand/sysinstall ....
