Of course not. :o) Bourne Shell compatibles (like bash and ksh) should do, C Shell uses "unalias *", zsh uses "unalias -m \*", ... "unalias rm" and equivalent for each and every command you use should do the trick on all of them. OTOH, [0] says "sh" doesn't support aliases at all, so you might break plain old Bourne Shell compatibility.(?) I think /bin/rm does quite a good job as a default, is it really worth replacing?
