Works fine for me:
<tytso@oliver> {/mit/tytso}
29% ls -lL /tmp
total 10
......
0 srwxrwxrwx 1 tytso 0 Nov 13 04:26 esrv15806=
.....
<tytso@oliver> {/mit/tytso}
30% rm /tmp/esrv15806
rm: remove /tmp/esrv15806? y
<tytso@oliver> {/mit/tytso}
31% ls /tmp/esrv15806
/tmp/esrv15806 not found
You may be losing on completion; tcsh is appending a / for sockets, as
if they were directories. I'll fix that for the next release....
