That's why I said "if they already are running bash" -- because if they're running bash, then the only way that it would avoid doing brace expansion is if +B was set. Which means -B needs to be set for brace expansion to start working. Of course, if they aren't running bash, then they need to do that first. > Why would someone want to turn this off in an initialization script? I strongly suspect the user was running either sh (which was not linked to bash) or dash. I left that in there just in case they were running it, but someone decided to "set +B" in one of the startup files. No, I don't know why anyone would want to do this, but it is one possible explanation for the failure. :-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIQy2mS5vET1Wea5wRA4I0AKCj/rrxr5PAD9aet6MDpKGS+IJ3sACfXmRG Sw6CYxB0RK9xaZViGCavblY= =zVra -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
