It may cause bad habits -- where the admin assumes that will be prompted for confirmation before unlinking, overwriting, or renaming files -- which is not true using default rm, cp, and mv. As for me, I very frequently run "unalias" for these. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
