Hi, I see the following weird phenomenon: bash cannot recognize
filenames or directories that have spaces, unless I am root/su. This
is a typical example:
$ mkdir "Foo Bar"
$ cd Foo\ Bar/
bash: cd: Foo: No such file or directory
$ su
Password:
# cd Foo\ Bar/
/home/oleg/tmp/Foo Bar
Platform: RH7.0 with kernel 2.2.16-22 on i686.
It does look like a bug in bash, since zsh, ksh, or tcsh work just
fine.
It seems that the bash version is the latest (did RH screw anything
up?):
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.04.11(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu)
Copyright 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Does anyone know if it is a known bug? Fixes? I did not find a known
bug list for bash on the net. I'll use bashbug if no one reacts
shortly.
Just in case anyone thinks I am crazy to put spaces into filenames,
I need to access shared files on an NT server from my Linux.
