For the sake of completeness, here follows the missing info:

Project website: http://www.dban.org/

Methodology-related FAQ, very relevant to our cause: http://www.dban.org/faq/software

Interesting:
"Government Of Canada awards NMSO status to EBAN

The Government Of Canada recently awarded GEEP Ecosys <http://www.geepecosys.com/> a three-year National Master Standing Offer contract for the EBAN <http://www.dban.org/eban> data sanitization product and its related portfolio of computer recycling, asset disposition, and data destruction services.

EBAN is currently available to all federal agencies for download at the GEEP GoC web portal <http://www.geepgoc.com/>, and it will be available as NMSO #E60QE-08BIO4/003/QE through PWGSC <http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/comm/index-eng.html> sometime in 2009."

Hi

I just noticed you guys are dealing with this. I know a tool called Darik's Boot and Nuke, which can do the sanitization in a lot of ways, including:

Pseudorandom streams
DOD-style
SarbOx-style/requirements-fullfillment (maybe worth a look)
Gutmann (overkill or not, its available)
Zerofill
Several kinds of Random fill
lots more of destruction candy. Worth a shot, its a tiny livecd :)
