A script to prevent damage from rm -rf malware
Authored by: sapporo on May 18, '04 12:57:18PM

Remember that a malware program does not have to use the /bin/rm binary at all, and could easily achive the same without using external programs in any programming language.
And even if you make it impossible to unlink files, a malware program could just overwrite you files with gibberish.
