I edited the commands in the test case when an additional thought occurred to me (the a/"b vs. a/b" distinction) but forgot to update the corresponding output lines. My apologies. Proper test case: bash-5.0$ chmod 700 /tmp/a bash-5.0$ rm -r /tmp/a bash-5.0$ mkdir -m700 /tmp/a /tmp/a/b bash-5.0$ touch /tmp/a/b/c bash-5.0$ echo /tmp/a/b/* "/tmp/a/"b/* "/tmp/a/b"/* /tmp/a/b/c /tmp/a/b/c /tmp/a/b/c bash-5.0$ chmod -r /tmp/a bash-5.0$ echo /tmp/a/b/* "/tmp/a/"b/* "/tmp/a/b"/* /tmp/a/b/c /tmp/a/b/c /tmp/a/b/* --Andrew Church http://achurch.org/
