Toying with rm today, and came across this situation. You've got a file called "-n". Now, rm will interperet 'rm -n' as an argument (this isn't the bug). So you go 'rm -- -n', and everything is fine.
However, since it tries to interperet these filenames as arguments, some problems come up. Say you've got a file called '-rf', a file called test, and a dir called testdir. rm *f t* should delete '-rf' and the test file, leaving the directory, however, it interperates -rf as arguments, deleteing the folder and its contents. (It also leaves the -rf file). -- Kavity and naka __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
