You can either a) Alias rm to rm -i, which is default for the root user b) rename rm (to rm.cmd for example) and then create a wrapper script called rm that does whatever logic you want then calls rm (however, in your case it would be calling mv if you wanted to move something to a .Trash folder) c) Don't let users on your systems that can't be trusted with basic commands. Just a couple options.
