<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Michael Wood at 22/11/12 14:45 did gyre and gimble:

</I>><i> Or if you happy to run rm as it was written and risk deleting something
</I>><i> you didn't want too, then comment out the alias (and any others that get
</I>><i> on your nerves:) ) from /etc/profile.d/60alias.sh
</I>
While it technically is a config file, it's also numeric which means
that one day, it *might* be renumbered for whatever need at the time.
I therefore try to always avoid editing such files whenever possible.
Instead, I'd personally recommend creating your own file:
/etc/profile.d/999-fsck-the-defaults.sh
and in it just put:
alias rm=rm
or similar to "undo" the earlier changes.
Sure there is a tiny amount more to do at init, but it's pretty minimal
and you likely won't notice.
