What ?!?!?!?!?

That's heresy !!!!!

Get a rope !

...actually nmap hasn't been very particular about options for as long as I remember. example:
nmap -sS your.mom.org -P0 -p 22
is the same as
nmap -sS -P0 -p 22 your.mom.org

and I am ok with that. But with rm... that's just wrong. string that guy up !

Since when has one been able to put a "-" option after the file name

[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ mkdir a
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ touch a/b
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ rm a
rm: cannot remove `a': Is a directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ rm a -rf
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ ls a
ls: a: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ rm --version
rm (coreutils) 5.2.1

Observed in somebody else's shell script.  Rubs me very much the wrong way.
