I know that as root 'rm -rf / ' would whack the whole filesystem. Just = out of curiosity, what would that do as a normal user? I kow they = couldn't hurt teh root filesystem, but would it recursively search teh = whole system and remove and directory and files that the user has write = permissions for ?
