Response to: Vault and the swapfile

| Now I don't recomend this to anyone really, but I when I sent a powermac g4 in for repairs, what I did, is I logged in as root, and used secure delete on the swap file. restarted the computer and let it recreate the swap file. Now this could be a VERY incorrect way of doing this. But it doesn't appear to have damaged my mac os x installtion. Do I do this often no, only once. But i don't think it would hurt if you were going to sell the computer, or send it in for repairs. Let me know if I am mistaken. | ||
