The FreeBSD rm command has vor this a flag:

     -P      Overwrite regular files before deleting them.  Files are over�
             written three times, first with the byte pattern 0xff, then 0x00,
             and then 0xff again, before they are deleted.  Files with multi�
             ple links will not be overwritten nor deleted and a warning will
             be issued.  If the -f option is specified, files with multiple
             links will also be overwritten and deleted.  No warning will be
             issued.

What would be the best approach for this in Ubuntu?
