I had the same problem with a file named '-s' for files that start with a "-" character, to remove them you include a "--" before the file name. for your example: rm -- -s I had to move and delete a bunch of files that were named with a "-" at the beginning...

If you want you can also open up midnight commander, just delete it that way. I had the same problem with a file named '-s' -Joe Charles R.

Sendmail

by Joe Riopel

I have sendmail set up here at work, and everyone can send email fine, except when I try to send using the good old mail command.. it tells me "Can't create transcript file ./xfg4OGa2S21960: Permission denied queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfg4OGa2S21960, uid=500: Permission denied" I have tried doing chmod 777 on the "/var/spool/mqueue" and it still fails. However when I use pine and set my smtp server to box.domain.com ( the localhosts name ) I am able to send fine. This problem is preventing a webmail client I wrote from sending mail... Any ideas? Thanks, Joe

Is there a way to pass an inode number to rm or cat? Try "ls -b". It will show you octal codes for non-printable chars, and escape things like spaces, etc. You should be able to cut/paste that to rm. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: In most countries selling harmful things like drugs is punishable.

strange filenames

by Brad Noyes

Hi All For some reason i sometimes find files with strange names like '??'. When i do a long listing the file name changes to some other bizare character combination. When i try to delete the file using 'rm', or cat it, i can't seem to pass the correct filename to rm (i do try to escape characters, and use 'TAB' but no luck). Is there a way to pass an inode number to rm or cat? thanks, --brad

KDE 3.0.1

by Andy Stewart

HI gang, I had installed KDE 3.0 as part of my upgrade to SuSE 8.0 and was quite unhappy with the frequency of crashes with Konqueror (multiple times nightly). Well, I've just upgraded to KDE 3.0.1 and have been using Konqueror for over an hour without a crash. Things are looking up! If you are a KDE 3.0 user, I'd recommend upgrading to version 3.0.1. -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
