It is very frequent to doctor a command output when posting her to hide irrelevant details or make it fit in the width of a mail. > If you use a file object that was freshly made by mkfifo(1) as command in > a pipe, what complaint from bash do you get ? I get “command not found”, of course. My shell does not try to execute random files or pseudo-files in the current directory. > -bash: /home/thomas/MyFifo: Permission denied I would like to point that “/home/thomas/MyFifo” is not the same thing as “MyFifo:”, so it seems you DID doctor the output. Furthermore, your configuration is indeed dangerously broken. Possibly a less dangerously than I suspected, but still broken. Your shell has no business trying to execute random files lying around in your home directory. Regards, -- Nicolas George
