Re: Solaris disk wipe utilitiy?

Use "fdisk -P". It will fill the disk with the character specified as an argument.

>From the fdisk man page:

     -P	fill_patt
	       Fill disk with pattern fill_patt.   fill_patt  can
	       be  decimal  or hex and is used as number for con-
	       stant long  word	pattern. If fill_patt is  #, then
	       pattern is block	# for each block.  Pattern is put
	       in each block as	long words and fills  each  block
	       (see -o and  -s).

You may need to run this multiple times to comply w/DoD standards. Check with your INFOSEC officer.

F.Y.I. I am currently on the market if you need additional assistance. ;-)
