[Hudlug] the simplest things

Sometimes the simplest things defeat me ... I've got a Redhat 7.1 installation
where the cp command always asks me to confirm overwriting, which I would like
to turn off. The info page shows an option to turn this on, but not to turn it
off. I thought maybe an alias was set up - my .bashrc refers to /etc/bashrc,
which I can't understand but doesn't seem to refer to cp at all. Any tips?
