Only if you have those stupid aliases defined, which RH seems to do by 
default.  The first thing I do on a new RH system is unalias the
"rm=rm -i" etc aliases.

If you don't use -f, rm will (1) complain about missing files if you
have specified any on the command line and (2) query you about files
which you can remove but which don't belong to you.  The 2nd doesn't
apply if you're root.
