Are you sure you this change didn't go hand in hand with switching which
account you were using? The default setup for CS 1.2 makes rm interactive
as root and non-interactive for other users. I think.

You need to set up an alias. Something like...
alias rm='rm -i'
should do the job. If you want it set up automatically, you will need to
add it to the appropriate shell initialization file (.bashrc, .tcshrc,
etc.).
