Follow-up Comment #5, bug #33747 (project grep): I wouldn't want to change all, necessarily. Sometimes I omit rm's -f deliberately, because the file is expected to exist, and if it doesn't I want to see an error. With -f, that unexpected case would go unreported.
If you find a plausible case in which a conforming rm-without-f can be made to prompt, that is a bug and we should fix it. However, using a umask more strict than 077 does not count as plausible. If you are using a non-conforming rm, I would encourage you to adjust it so that it works more like a conforming one. I read the comments here and in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/716330 but did not see a report of any actual malfunction. Have you seen an actual failure using a "real" rm program? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33747> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
