I specifically did before sending. There's nothing in  /etc/profile
on the affected system. Nor in /root/.profile. However, the files
were on a read-only filesystem which is why rm's default behavior
of prompting for files it can't delete kicked in. I though there was
a stray alias rm rm -i floating around, but was bad and didn't
actually look to confirm until a few minutes ago.
