I don't know if this is the right list, so bear with me. There is a bug in the test or a readable /dev/zero. It assumes that /dev/zero is a device, but at least on Solaris it is a link:
ls -l /dev/zero lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 27 Nov 26 2001 /dev/zero -> ../devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:zero A better way would be to use "ls -lL": ls -lL /dev/zero crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 13, 12 Jan 2 12:59 /dev/zero The capital "L" flag has no effect if the file is not a link. -- blu "The genius of you Americans is that you never make clear-cut stupid moves, only complicated stupid moves which make us wonder at the possibility that there may be something to them which we are missing." - Gamal Abdel Nasser ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Utterback - Solaris RPE, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
