hi thanks for the help
i made
$ mkdir -p
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f}/{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f}/{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f}
$ touch f{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f}.txt
$ touch {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f}/f{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f}.txt
$ touch
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f}/{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f}/f{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f}.txt
$ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f

I guess that is enough.
I've ran it on another server (that should be identical to it) it worked, I
ran it as a root on that server, it worked, I ran it as some other users, it
didn't, giving the same problem. (I even created a new user).
and
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.9-22.ELsmp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version
3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)) #1 SMP Mon Sep 19 18:32:14 EDT 2005
and no there is no SELinux running on it.
