   It seems reasonable to make it refuse unless you give it a -f
   option; or perhaps prompt for confirmation the way rm does if you
   try to remove an unwritable file.

I hope you don't mean that settrans should prompt by default, cause
that is just silly.  A --interactive switch might be a good idea
though.

Cheers.
