Wrapping a filename in quotes doesn't prevent it from being interpreted
as a flag or option.

I'm getting strange stuff too:
$ /bin/ls -l radiolab101510--Fate-and-Fortune.mp3
-rw-r--r-- 1 zl zl 57144527 Sep 30 16:10
radiolab101510--Fate-and-Fortune.mp3
$ /bin/ls -l *.mp3
/bin/ls: unrecognized option `--Fate-and-Fortune.mp3'
Try `/bin/ls --help' for more information.
$ rpm -qf /bin/ls

Try:
alias ls (to see if you're getting invisible flags enabled)
/bin/ls -d /tmp/[A-Z]* (to try the command without such)

Hi,
I'm currently working through some basic HOWTOS (Linux Fundamentals 1-4
by Gentoo founder Daniel Robbins) on a CentOS 5.5 server, just to keep
in shape.
I've just noticed a curious wildcard behaviour, which I can't really
explain. Let's say I wanted to list all the files or directories in /tm
10 matches
