What Christian was referring to, was that if someone else on your system
ran ln -s /etc/passwd /tmp/trimmed before you ran that command as root,
your passwd file would be overwritten.

Using /tmp/ for temporary files like that is a VERY bad idea on a
multiuser system.

Better would be to use "~/trimmed" instead of "/tmp/trimmed"
