bit of a tangent, but something that's been bugging me for a while:

Charlie, you mentioned srm - how well does srm play with journalised file 
systems? ie will the journal just negate all the hard work done by srm?

if you have a look at the man pages for shred, it says that shred won't work 
with journalised FS - is srm different?
