On Fedora 22 (and for many previous versions) I have noticed that, if I log
in as 'root', it does prompt, but if I log in as an ordinary user, it does not.
If I type 'alias' at the console, it lists current aliases. 'root' shows
exactly what Jon quoted above. 'frank' shows no alias for 'rm'.
I had a quick look to see what was setting it, but there is nothing in
/etc/profile or in /etc/bashrc. I don't know where else to check. I should have looked a bit harder. It is in /root/.bashrc - alias rm='rm -i' alias cp='cp -i' alias mv='mv -i' Frank -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
