Depending on the filesystem, you can have it without extra tools. I
believe ext2 at least has the wipe-files-after-delete option (mount
option, or you set it per file with chattr).

Arggh! man chattr documents this (flag 's'), but it seems not to be
implemented yet.

ok, so just ignore me. (or implement it - sounds quite trivial if one is
a kernel hacker. Which, of course, I am not).

cheers
