OK, I installed a different terminal. And it sees all three of the example files I posted earlier, using the ls command or any other command. As root it also allows me to copy them to wherever I want. It shows the permissions for the two offending files as -rw------- and for the one that Nautilus lets me copy as -rw-r--r--. The Nautilus Properties dialog box shows no differences for the permissions, but it is a GUI that does not display all possible information. If gnome-terminal would display the offending files it probably would have shown the differing permissions as well. I am not sure if gnome-terminal's failing to display the files is by design or on accident. Either way, it is wrong. If the file is there it should list it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
