I'm too paranoid that I know what *should* work wouldn't or would still end up deleting the original file I wanted, so I'd have to make a backup of the file and do it that way rather than play with escapes and quotes.
Cant' you escape the \ with a \? rm named.conf\\ ??
I think he did do that and it worked.
I was just commenting what my first instinct is to do. A few extra keystrokes, but it saves my peace of mind. I jump among too many different systems with their own quirks and whatnot to not be careful when deleting things under /etc.
how many sysadmins either A) type ls at the DOS/cmd prompt or B) aliased ls under DOS/cmd prompt on Windows (or I guess C would be installed some UNIX-like tools under Windows because they kept doing A)? :-)
