Wiping Swap Partitions

[Sam Simpson <simpson@samsimpson.com>]

I'm thinking of using the following on shutdown:

swapoff -a
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 bs=1024k count=64
sync
mkswap /dev/hda1
sync
swapon -a

(after checking that hda1 is swap ;).  Any comments or improvements?

Does anyone know if there is a recommended way of doing this under
Solaris? I guess you can do the same kind of thing, but because of the C2
rating there should be a way of automating this?


Cheers,

Sam
