Micah's response is correct, but just an additional comment.
In FreeBSD UNIX, there are really no 'hidden' files. They are
all just files with names in a specific style - in most cases that
means they start with a dot (.). They are no different than other
file names as far as UNIX is concerned. They are no 'hidden' to
keep you from seeing them or doing things with them as in MS.
But, because most of the time you do not want to waste display time
or space looking at those file names when you list files, many utilities
such as ls do not show then by default - they skip over them. In almost
all cases, to get those utilities to show them in their listings, you
just need to use a flag on the command - the -a flag in the case of ls.
Thanks. One has to learn how to detatch oneself from Windows, huh?
