the sysadmin sets LD_PRELOAD to /lib/libunlinkwrapper.so which
overrides the unlink() system call to add logging.
now a nasty user wants to delete a file using unlink() (though she
could use others to change the content of the file) without being
traced by the sysadmin. to achieve this she could execute:
LD_PRELOAD= rm <important_file>
as LD_PRELOAD has been reset the overriden unlink() function of
/lib/libunlinkwrapper.so would not be called
