What about KDE's file shredder? It overwrites the file with zeros before
deleting it. A libc preload module could do the same. It intercepts delete
system calls and first writes the file with zeros before deleting it. No
knowledge of file system internals are needed. I would imagine it would work
even if the file is on an NFS/SMBFS mounted volume.
