Hello -

I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and was wondering if there are any other
programs out there for secure deletion.  I know that you can use the -P
flag with rm to overwrite files but you can't specify the iterations of
overwriting.

What I'm looking for is something similar to (or exactly like) shred for
Linux.  Is it out there??

Thanks,

Ben
