Tsk, tsk. What about password scavenging? Here's what I used when my
employers issued a workstation upgrade:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdaN
where N is set to each existing partition in turn. It gives interesting
error messages when it finishes zeroing the root partition, so do that one
last!
(Okay, lots of intelligence agencies and large corporations could recover
the signal after casual zeroing, but my stuff is not anything they'd be
interested in, and anyway I don't have the MIL-SPEC for medium-security
erasure patterns.)
