Deleting with wildcards was a lesson I learned the hard way.
try this: rm *.txt
and be a little slow letting go of the shift key.
it becomes: rm *>txt
Not a pretty picture.
And then there's the duhveloper ( not me this time ) that did this
intentionally,
as root, from root.
chown myid:mygrp -R *
AIX doesn't work to well after that.

No. What it does do is stop people from being able to specifically delete
the file without wildcards. Some shops are good about not deleting with
wildcards. And then there's the rest of the world.
HTH,
