I've got couple that I've picked up from the net that I can supply on
request.
rm/unrm - this pair of routines replaces rm so that when you do an rm
the file(s) is actually mv'ed to /tmp/$user/. The full pathname
is not remembered, only the tail. As such, if you rm to files
with the same name the second will overwrite the first. Since
directories in /tmp are not removed by the os, they will pile
up until you /bin/rm them, and fill up the /tmp filesystem.
unrm will mv them into the current directory regardless of their
directory of origin.
rmsecure - is a script (slow) which will do filename expansion and, if any
wildcards are used, echo the expanded fileset and ask you if
your sure. This gives you a chance to preview your rm fileset.

Which is worse, ignorance or apathy? Who knows, who cares.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to discern who is
responsible for these opinions, the poster or the company he works for.
Good luck!!
