Description Fabian Affolter 2009-01-02 09:47:01 UTC
Spec URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/srm.spec
SRPM URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/srm-1.2.9-1.fc9.src.rpm

Project URL: http://srm.sourceforge.net/

Description:
srm is a secure replacement for rm(1). Unlike the standard rm, it
overwrites the data in the target files before unlinkg them. This
prevents command-line recovery of the data by examining the raw block
device. It may also help frustrate physical examination of the disk,
although it's unlikely that completely protects against this type of
recovery.

cvs done.

note that this package doesn't seem to obey the normal rpm CFLAGS. 
You might need to patch the Makefile or otherwise get it to use them...
