Make fun of your manager or system admin by this. Tell me what happen next!

Without even doing it I can tell you what happens next: you have to improve your CV.

@Zaphod65
Indeed. But it's a joke, they should be happy after that!

Nothing will happend you need —no-preserve-root argument for it to screw up your system

@nighter
Well I don't got it, but sysadmin got that root access!!

If your sysadmin runs ls with root privileges they're doing something wrong

@strNameKyle "sudo ls"

@RAZERZ you're doing something wrong

@strNameKyle psh, watchu mean

@RAZERZ sometimes you need it. E.g. when trying to look at some logs in /var, must have root privileges.

@sjzurek you can ls without root privileges.. to open the logs you need it..

Real sysadmin will use /bin/ls anyway 😄

@mshokoohi the thing is that newer binutils added —no-preserve-root argument to rm to protect newbs from remove / by misstakes. So my point was the alias you created will only give you an error message nothing will be deleted as long you dont use 10 years old release of the rm command.

@nighter
You're right of course, also not sure how can he change root user or system wide aliases. Still funnier to install sl (steam locomotive) use that 😄
