Thanks for the reply. I have just checked the things you recommended the
text is below:
echo $SHELL = tcsh
echo * = No Match
echo = no output at all
rpm -qf `which ls` = fileutils-4.1-10 ( when i run this on the machines
that work i get an output of "--color=tty: unknown option" )
md5sum `which ls` = 69ee580c4bd6afa63aed49076c535f62 /bin/ls ( when i run
this on the machines that works i get an output " md5sum:unrecognised
option `--color=tty`)
I seem to get more errors as above with the machines that have not got this
"No Match" error problem.
When i change to a bash shell and then run ls * it shows the files as expected but when i change to csh i get the same "No Match" error.
What would happen if i got rid of the fileutils package from the machines
that do not work currently, to see if this fixes the problem?
Any more ideas?
Ya, it sounds like you have the ls command alias'd, and alias'd wrong to
the point that the * wildcard isn't being passed correctly.
What happens when you do "/bin/ls -l *"?
If that works, you definately have an alias problem. What happens when
you enter "alias ls"? Look in your .cshrc file an see if ls is alias'd.

I'm with Vidiot on this one. To bypass aliased system commands in [t]csh escape the command with a dos-slash like so-
\ls *
hope this does it, Jurvis LaSalle
