only shooting in the blue here but have you tried rm 'named.conf\' so as to instruct the sheel to ignore any special chars it sees. Or rm named.conf\\ (I seem to recall that you the backslash is the escape sequenze for the bash so escaping a backslash should lead to a literal backslash. *guessing*
My first instinct would be cp named.conf backupnamed.conf rm named.con* mv backupnamed.conf named.conf
:-)
I'm too paranoid that I know what *should* work wouldn't or would still end up deleting the original file I wanted, so I'd have to make a backup of the file and do it that way rather than play with escapes and quotes.
