I'm looking to excess old equipment, but since I work for the government I need to securely overwrite all the hard drives on these macs, pc's, and unix boxes. Anyone know of any multi-platform freeware out there that will do this?
thanks =)

NetExec is a NT 4.0 Service, which allows you to start any program under a different account (like UNIX su). ->> http://hotfiles.zdnet.com/cgi-bin/texis/swlib/hotfiles/info.html?fcode=000PR0&b=go

Perhaps one of those will allow you to access the HD, then use this to overwrite.
Eraser is a free file wipe utility that securely removes sensitive data from your hard drive http://hotfiles.zdnet.com/cgi-bin/texis/swlib/hotfiles/info.html?fcode=000RIF&b=go
Placing the HD into a Windows machine should allow it to write to the HD and remove any traces, lets hope anyway..
Maybe you won't have to go through all the links above..
