- No Frank. However, one of our programmers developed a program that emmulates
- the rm command and only moves the file to a temporary trashcan (an extra file
- system that we have here).
- The file is actually removed from the trashcan after 7 days.

- This has helped me a lot with users that screw up and want me to recover
- their files pronto.
