Hi, I'm using 'ls' and I'm encountering a pretty strange bug. I just rsync'd my remote server for backup, and on my local machine I run the command 'ls -lh csf/' Well.. Here's the result; $ ls -lh csf/ ls: cannot access csf/.: Permission denied ls: cannot access csf/..: Permission denied total 0 d????????? ? ? ? ? ? . d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .. running just 'ls csf/' $ ls csf/ ls: cannot access csf/.: Permission denied ls: cannot access csf/..: Permission denied . .. It appears to be outputting the information, even though it should be exiting after it says permission denied. I've tried rm -rf csf/ and re-rsyncing it, but the problem persists. My .bashrc; alias ls='ls -aC --color=auto' Running '/bin/ls csf/' just results in a newline. running '/bin/ls -aC' doesn't cause the error, neither does '/bin/ls -C --color=auto csf/' But, '/bin/ls -a --color=auto csf/' DOES. So it seems to be the combination of --color and -a. Thanks -- *Joshua Rogers* - Retro Game Collector && IT Security Specialist gpg pubkey
