Yes, that's how the shell works. If you don't have permission to list the directory (e.g. if you can't already tab-complete files in it), then you need to have the wildcard expansion happen later. > 0x02$ doas rm -rf /usr/xobj/* btw, running as root to remove files owned by build is a bit overpowered, you're one typo away from a bad day. doas -u build sh -c 'rm -r obj/*'
