  Description     : Securely overwrites empty spaces in ext2/3 filesystems.

Securely overwrite unused space in ext2/3 filesystems with zeros or random numbers. END DESCRIPTION. BEGIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. This package implements custom error checking malloc routines which do not compile under Debian. A simple patch can be written to fix them or replace with the standard malloc. The website hosting this package is currently down for me. I have a copy of the upstream source package if it is desired.
