Thanks ppl for the quick reply.

Sudhamacs, you answered before I got a chance to post the version but here is the information you requested..

Code:
je# uname -srp
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE i386
je#

Don't think that permissions is the issue here since the issue is ls isn't recognizing '2' as a valid operator. Hence ls with the d switch will fail.

Another note i should add is that when i hit up (history) i find that the system executes with a space.

ls -ld /usr /foo 1>/dev/null/
.. works on they system as ..
ls -ld /usr /foo 1 > /dev/null/

^^Not sure if this is relevant or not. Also, here's some additional information..



Code:
je# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0,   6 Aug 28 14:35 /dev/null
je# ls -l /dev/st* /dev/fd
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4 Dec 31  1969 /dev/stderr -> fd/2
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4 Dec 31  1969 /dev/stdin -> fd/0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4 Dec 31  1969 /dev/stdout -> fd/1

/dev/fd:
total 0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0,  18 Jul 27 21:37 0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0,  20 Jul 27 21:37 1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0,  22 Jul 27 21:37 2
