Add dban to fog's pxe menu

[Mat Holland]

I would like to know how it would be possible to add dban as an option for PXE boot…I am running fog under an ubuntu 10.04 server, and I would like the option to wipe PC’s only for when we replace our PC’s

There is already a wipe function built into FOG. It’s listed under advanced tasks. There is also a tutorial on adding ISOs to the FOG boot menu [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/how-to-modify-the-pxe-boot-menu-to-allow-the-booting-of-iso-files.154/’]here[/URL].

Well the thing is, we have to wipe using DOD…the wipe function built into fog is not DOD, or is it?

The Full Wipe uses [URL=‘http://linux.die.net/man/1/shred’]shred[/URL]:
[CODE]shred -f -v -z -n 3 ${hd}[/CODE]
Full Wipe is more secure than the DoD Short option in DBAN. The DoD 5220.22-M option is more secure than one pass of Full Wipe, but two passes of Full Wipe would be more secure.
