    SubjectRe: Wanted: Secure-delete utility for Linux
    I suspect that it would be very safe to write random data over a file several times.
    Unfortunately the current /dev/random and /dev/urandom are very slow in generating data. Therefore I would rather like a /dev/frandom for fast, low quality randomness.
