  13. I work for a US government contractor where the contracting agency requires
  14. the wiping, clearing, sanitization (what ever you want to call it) of disks
  15. which contain or may contain sensitive information.  Is there any utility,
  16. shell script, or SW package which would accomplish this?
  17.  
  18. Many thanks in advance for you help.
