Odd file with no name
OS: Solaris 2.6
File with no name created Mar of 2000 - ls (with or without options) shows the file but no name associated with it.
Example:
ls -ltca
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 9721 Apr 16 2003 printcap
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 267 Apr 16 2003
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 258 Apr 16 2003 auto_master
Run file command:
file *
timezone: ascii text
ypservers: English text
: ascii text
I figured out that I could use the find command to look for the specific file with -type f and -size 267 so I did rename it to junk. It contained text relating to CVS. I had tried both a space and tab with the ls command but that didn't work.
Anyone ever see a file with no name?

remove_object
remove object(1m) remove object(1m)
NAME
remove object - Removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry
SYNOPSIS
cdscp remove object object-name attribute-name [= attribute-value]
ARGUMENTS
The full name of the object entry. The name of a particular attribute. Specify only one attribute at a time. See the cds_attributes file
for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses. The value of a particular attribute. The value of an
application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute.
DESCRIPTION
The remove object command removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an
object entry. If you do not specify a value, the command removes the entire attribute. This command can delete attributes created by the
add object and set object commands. Usually, this task is performed through the client application. See the OSF DCE Administration Guide
for more information about attributes.
Privilege Required
You must have write permission to the object entry.
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLE
To remove the value ps from the attribute printcap of an object entry named /.:/mlh/deskprinter, follow these steps: Read the
cds_attributes file to check that the attribute printcap is listed, as shown in the following display:
OID LABEL SYNTAX 1.3.22.1.3.50 printcap char Enter the following command to remove the value ps from the
attribute printcap. cdscp> remove object /.:/mlh/deskprinter printcap = ps
