If you care that much, have the app overwrite it.

Everything that's been discussed so far would not be standard, and would
be something you do when you boot into single-user mode. If you don't
trust whomever is sitting at the console in single-user mode, you have
bigger security problems that anything in this thread can address. :-)

Take care,
