What distro was this out of curiosity? As far as I’m aware preserve-root enforcement comes from upstream coreutils
Iirc, it was Debian 10 (Buster). I thought they enforced it (rm did support it at the time), but perhaps it was tricked by using an empty variable or something?
rm
Ahhh, I just re-read your comment, and yeah that would have been the case.
I think another quick bypass without using the proper flag could be to use a wildcard (for example, rm -rf /*), I think that might work too maybe
