System name: E40-008-6
Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 6.4R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:
What were you trying to do?
[~/afs]:E40-008-6 % cat .
What's wrong:
It cat'ed the directory. Not a pretty sight.
What should have happened:
I should get:
cat: read error: Is a directory
- Dave Morrison
Thank you for your bug report.
Actually, the bug is that NFS gives you the error described... Both UFS
and AFS seem to permit the user to cat the directory.
