Hi,

What happens in the below commands?  The ":" in filenames seems to be
a problem.  But I don't understand the rule.

% ls -l
total 0
% touch aaa:bbb
% ls -l
total 0
-rw-rw-rw- 1 anonymous anonymous 0 Mar 25 12:32 aaa
% ls -l aaa:bbb
-rw-rw-rw- 1 anonymous anonymous 0 Mar 25 12:32 aaa:bbb
% rm aaa:bbb
% ls -l
total 0
-rw-rw-rw- 1 anonymous anonymous 0 Mar 25 12:32 aaa
% rm aaa
% ls -l
total 0
