Re: Bad things to do with rm (was: Re: MS networks (was Re: Partitioning))

One of the things I like to do is put a file called "0000AAAA" in my
home directory ("touch ~/0000AAAA").  Then remove read and write
permissions 
("chmod 000 ~/0000AAAA").  Then, when I try and remove my home directory
I get the message along the lines of 
  rm: remove write-protected regular empty file 
    `/home/phd/mpj17/0000AAAA'? 
and I can do a <control-c>.  Not fool-proof (damn "-f") but it can help.
