Someone has put a lot of music to a shared folder on a Mac that is for productive work, and of course on corporate use sharing files like music, movies and non-work software is a big no-no.

So help me get some ideas what to do.

Of course, informing the lab manager person would make most sense (especially since I know who put the music there).

But I want something more educating. Like replacing the contents of all files with random junk, so that all files appear to be the same size etc. Appending random bits to the end of the files didn't do it.

Chmodding with no read or chowning to an odd user could probably work too.
But I somehow want something like shred - keeping all existing files, after replacing hte contents. fwipe seems to do this but I can't get it to work with Fink.

Or I could replace all passwords on the system after playing with chown and chmod... what else would be nice? ]]> Shell/Terminal Scripts Giaguara http://macosx.com/forums/shell-terminal-scripts/311459-ideas-rewriting-files-random-stuff.html
