The following reply was made to PR bin/19537; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Kelly Yancey <kbyanc@egroups.net> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/19537: patch to prevent cat'ing directories Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 16:47:19 -0700 (PDT) BDE kindly pointed out that POSIX specifies that for cat: The input files can be any file type. That includes directories, so this PR is bogus. Please close. Thanks, Kelly To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
