Re: Join the fight against malicious commands given to new users
Regarding the coreutils change, wasn't that just a change to the default behavior? The latest manpage from GNU shows that they've just switched around the default behavior. The option to not respect the root directory is still there and anybody intent on using rm maliciously could simply start instructing people to use (otherwise harmless command + no respecting root option).
