I gave a bug report about this earlier...
The XenixNet nomenclature for remote filesystems is: //hostname/foobar/baz
which identifies /foobar/baz on host hostname.
bash$ cd
bash$ dirs
~
bash$ echo *
#%*mail*# News bin etc mail src uucp
bash$ cd //guinan
bash$ dirs
//guinan
bash$ echo *
* <--- Huh???
bash$ sh
$ pwd
//guinan/
$ echo *
bin boot boot.old db dev dos etc lib lost+found mnt once shlib tmp u u2 u3 users usr wmgr.rc xenix
$
Anybody got any ideas???

I don't have a Xenix machine to check this out on, but I heard that you have to specify two libraries when compiling Bash, AND WHEN COMPILING READLINE. The libraries will link in any order, but will only work correctly when linked in the right order. The libraries are: # Xenix requires -ldir -lx. It is also required in the readline Makefile. LOCAL_LIBS = -ldir -lx Brian Fox
