PURGE(F)                                   UNIX System V



     Name
          purge - the policy file of the sanitization utility purge(C)


     Syntax
          /etc/default/purge


     Description
          This file is an ascii file  whose  lines  each  designate  a
          file,  filesystem  or  device  to be a member of a type. The
          command:

               purge  -t  type

          would overwrite all the members of type.

          Blank lines  and  lines  beginning  with  `#'  are  ignored.
          Entries are of the form:

               file      type      [count]

          This specifies that file is a member of type.  The  optional
          field count is the number of times to overwrite file when it
          is purged. The default is one.

          The two  types  system  and  user  are  hardwired  into  the
          purge(C) utility. These types can be overwritten with the -s
          and -u switches to purge respectively.

          This file should be configured on site to reflect files  and
          devices  which  are  sensitive and need to be protected from
          unauthorized access.

          The initial contents of the file are:

               /tmp      system
               /user     user


     Files
          /etc/default/purge
