I can't see the point where it is wrong. You aren't referencing a link. And why should rm behave differently than e.g. ls? If I add a trailing '/' I would expect every command to do the same. Well if your are working on differenet systems you should add '/.' to be shure and forget about the '/' only case. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usergroup [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
