Umm, now I'm confused. While I do understand what you are trying to say, I see
that the outputs of "yum list selinux*" and "yum list selinux\*" are exactly
the same:
That is because, in THIS case, "selinux*" doesn't match any files in the
current directory. Create an empty file called "selinux1" and repeat the
two commands and you will see what I mean.
Bash is the first shell I have ever used that will pass on an unmatched
wildcard as a literal. Try the same thing with an older shell such as
csh, for instance:
$ csh
$ yum list selinux*
yum: No match.
$ yum list selinux\*
[...]
Greg and Tom:
Thanks for the extra bit of info. Tested with bash and tcsh and can see
the differences.
