Thanks for the reply. There are definitely files in there as i am looking at a directory on one of our main servers as per text below. When i do exactly the same as below on Redhat version 2.4.2 i get the right output from ls *. I have checked the aliases on both machines and they are both identical. I am not sure what you mean by the bin/ls part below but i do have a ls in /bin, can you expand on this and also let me know your thoughts on the above.

Check that there are actually files in the directory you're receiving the "No Match" message. cd into the directory and just type ls without the * and see what that shows. Also check that you're running /bin/ls and it's not aliased to something without you knowing. (Type "alias" to see what aliases are already setup.)
