Package: coreutils
Version: 6.10-6
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/shred
Polish manpage of shred, says:
-N, -n N, --iterations=N
Nadpisuje N razy. Domyślnie shred wykonuje nadpisanie 25 razy.
Wystar-
cza to, by każdy ze wszystkich przydatnych wzorców nadpisania
został
użyty przynajmniej jednokrotnie. Możliwe jest zmniejszenie
liczby
cykli nadpisania, by oszczędzić na czasie, lub zwiększenie jej
jeśli
mamy mnóstwo czasu do zmarnowania.
Back to english:
Overwrites N times. On default shred executes overwrite 25 times.
It is
sufficient that all usefull overwrite patterns are used at least
once.
You can decress number of overwrite cycle, to save time, or
increse
if we have lots of time to lost.
Ok, this is really not true. Default is 3 times using random.
Additionally -N option (ie. -25) is not working.
# shred -v -25 aaa
shred: invalid option -- '2'

Considering that this program is used for secure deletion
of files, and that the statment from manpage is giving incorect
statment for the security ("oh, it is doing 25 iterations, it is enaugh,
i will stick to defaults"), this is quite important (and user will
not notice it without running shred in verbose mode, with -v switch)
If you wish i can provide some more accurate text for this option.
Regard.
