Hello!
        I am a system administrator at the Technical University of
Timisoara, Romania , and I encountered the following problem:
when trying to work with file names beginning with a dash (a '-') the file
utils (rm , ls , ...) interpret those names as options, resulting a
"denial of service". It is not possible to work with these files in
command line (as far as I know).
        This problem appears to other software also, like vi for example,
but it is specially annoying with file utils.
        If this is stupid , what I've just wrote , and there is a
solution I don't know, please excuse me and let me know what that solution
is.

Regards,

Adrian Petre Mierlutiu
