Currently the file/block erase utility called Wipe (from SourceForge)
appears to be a command-line tool only. Would it be feasible and
practical to have a comparable capability that would automatically
perform an erase on each file that gets deleted by a user or
application? I.e. a daemon (with hooks into all system calls that
delete files) that would queue up any removed objects for a disk wipe?
(E.g. via the unlink(2) or remove(3C) calls.) The type of wipe could
then be set in a configuration file for the wipe daemon.
