william-davis-computer-3:~ frstan$ port search srm
srm sysutils/srm 1.2.8 srm is a
secure replacement for rm(1).
however after building it I got this:
william-davis-computer-3:~ frstan$ srm testfile
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _fdatasync
Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/srm
Expected in: flat namespace
dyld: Symbol not found: _fdatasync
Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/srm
Expected in: flat namespace
Trace/BPT trap
maybe we can fix that........
