[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #243] (Feedback) weird behavior in the shell

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #243 has been updated by tuxillo.

Description updated
Status changed from New to Feedback
Assignee deleted (0)

In linux, tcsh:

<pre>
debian:~# .
/usr/bin/.: Permission denied.
</pre>

Any other shell I've tried other than csh does not show this behavior. Can this be closed?

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a 'real' bug but I'm curious if anyone knows the 
cause. Check this:

zoot# echo $PATH
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/pkg/xorg/bin:/home/s/bin
zoot# pwd
/usr/src/sys/dev/disk/md
zoot# .
/usr/sbin/.: Permission denied.
zoot# cd /
zoot# .
/usr/sbin/.: Permission denied.

In other words: The strange thing is that whereever I type . on the csh 
prompt, I get the /usr/sbin/.: message regardless of what my current 
directory is.

On a Solaris system I get ".: Permission denied." which is what I'd 
expect rather.

So, can anyone enlighten me why DragonFly behaves like that?

Sascha
