I don't believe this is how rm works by default. The other suggestions to
set an alias to "rm -i" will make rm ask for confirmation regardless of a
specified file or fileglob (per Redhat's versions at least).
You can have rm default to always asking (using alias method), and then
/bin/rm <file> to override it (or surround with single quotes, like so:
'rm' <file>
).
