From:	Harold L Hunt <huntharo AT msu DOT edu>

Marc,

Here is one more interesting bit:

hunt AT NUCFAC13 ~
$ ls /etc//ssh*
/etc//sshd_config


So, an extra / somewhere in the middle of the path doesn't cause problems, but
an extra leading / does cause problems.  

Both 'ls //etc/ssh*' and 'ls /etc//ssh*' work under bash on Linux (so this
isn't a bash problem in general).

Maybe this is a Windows command prompt escape problem (I didn't think that /
was special to the Windows command prompt, but I could be mistaken)?

Harold
