++ I AM NEW TO THE LIST ! Hi, after installing ntfsprogs from the tar ball I did not find the ntfswipe application and its man-pages. I went back to the installation directory and issued the commands "make extra" and "make install" . The latter command reinstalled the standard ntfsprogs executables in /usr/local/sbin ; ntfswipe was not installed. I manually copied the ntfswipe executable (created by the "make extra" command) to the /usr/local/sbin directory and I was able to run it. I AM VERY INTERESTED TO ntfswipe . I would like to use it after having accessed my trading-on-line account. My bank used a combination of java and javascript . The javascript part only works with MSIE and I am thus forced to work with Windows. My only concern is : since ntfswipe is not included in the STANDARD ntfsprogs TOOL, it should be considered as AN EXPERIMENTAL APPLICATION ? Can I be reasonably confident it will work properly on a filesystem containing critical data ? I was not able to find information about ntfswipe PRESENT STATUS. I would be very grateful to anyone who could tell me something about the issue. Thanks and best regards. Alessandro Volpi |
