+<PRE>Luis Daniel Lucio Quiroz a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> Helo,
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> As my experience in security field, to make Mageia more available in enterprise
+</I>&gt;<i> environments, and specially those that are security paranoid, i'm planning to
+</I>&gt;<i> port SRM. SRM is a package that does a &quot;secure&quot; file deleting according some
+</I>&gt;<i> security standards (i dont remember right now names, i guess it is something
+</I>&gt;<i> in NIST, but that doesnt matter really).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> My question is, what should be the procedure that when you install srm, then
+</I>&gt;<i> the normal rm command could be replaced? i was thinking in pushing an alias
+</I>&gt;<i> but what other alternatives do i have?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> please comment,
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> LD
+</I>
+At first glance that sounds like a reasonable approach EXCEPT -- a system-level
+alias would be over-ridden by a user alias.
+A user could innocently have an alias such as :
+alias rm=&quot;rm -i&quot;
+
+rm is in /bin
+- /bin/rm could be replaced with a link to srm, but I don't know if that would
+be considered acceptable.
+rm would have to be restored if srm were uninstalled
+
+- wouldn't a link in /usr/bin/rm be executed first ?
+Of course that doesn't cover execution with root privileges.
+An alias in root wouldn't necessarily work, as an admin could inadvertantly
+replace it with another. (By loading a new file with some changed alias, for
+example.)
+But probably less likely than some user doing the same on their profile.
+
+There could be other approaches as well ... :)
