no protection
Authored by: progs on May 17, '04 01:45:05AM

making your home directory write protected does not protect you. the rm -rf command just moves into directories that it can delete. The directories in your ~ (Documents, Pictures, etc) will still be there but they will be empty. I guess that is the idea behind a recursive delete.
