Yes. :-) > So it seems that you may be correct. > That chmod fixes the problem, Yes. You said you rsync'd data from another machine.

Sorry but I don't understand what you are saying. The ls command didn't create the directory with that permission. The ls command simply reported it. That isn't a bug in ls. And I am sure not a bug in rsync either since I am sure that rsync just copied the source permissions directly. I think this is all expected behavior. If either --color or -l is specified then it will cause ls to need to stat(2) each entry in order to get information about it. But it can't stat without the 'x' bit allowing it. So it reports what it can which is simply the file name and nothing more. And of course the program does exit afterward. Using 'ls -l' reports both "." and ".." and therefore they are listed by name but without the missing attributes. Using 'ls' without -l does not report "." and ".." and therefore reported nothing but a newline. Bob
