>From filemode.c as referenced by ls on my system, here's the list of prefix characters. No '0' character. /* Return a character indicating the type of file described by file mode BITS: 'd' for directories 'b' for block special files 'c' for character special files 'm' for multiplexor files 'M' for an off-line (regular) file 'l' for symbolic links 's' for sockets 'p' for fifos '-' for regular files '?' for any other file type. */ What distribution do you use? From my reading of the ls source I don't think it's possible to cause a leading '0' on Debian (of course I could have missed something, that source is painful to read). What happens when you run "stat lk"? -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
