File names that contain "01" act hidden
Haveing an issue. Anytime a file is created with "01" (zero one) in the name - it cannot be viewed by LS or any other file listing command. Although the file is there, it cannot be seen. I can edit it, run it, anything, except see it.....

What happened? Any ideas?

Those files that were created did not show up, but they were created.

The do not show up in the LS command
but they are there, like hidden system files on a PC in dos mode

Nothing with a dot, anything, and I mean anything, with "01" in the file name is not showing, its there, just not listing

oh yeah - I covered every single basic

shared the files, shared the director to another unix server....

Every possible way to show those damn files. Even using samba via an NT server still does not show.

Driven me nuts here.

This kinda sucks, I have no idea if it could be a hardware or software thing at this point. Sun references nothing like this on/in their documentations....

Any ideas on where to send me?

Thanks for tryin anyway
