Hello Jim, I'm not sure whether this qualifies as a bug. At least, 'ls' did not list what I expected it to do. 'ls' silently refused to list directories recursively. If it's not a bug please produce a error message telling the user not to use -d and -R at the same time. Yes, I know, I should have used something like: find . -type d -exec ls -ld {} \; -- work : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ,__o : http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | _-\_<, home : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (*)/'(*) _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
