Hi, I've been following this list for a while and haven't seen this, so 
forgive me if it's been addressed.

Files with 4 letter extensions don't like to be seen on Solaris prefixed 
with a wildcard, for instance on windows w/ network drive mapped.

U:\>dir
  Volume in drive U is dsh2120
  Volume Serial Number is 0076-09E2

                1 File(s)         21,014 bytes
                0 Dir(s)     945,979,392 bytes free

U:\>dir *.html
  Volume in drive U is dsh2120
  Volume Serial Number is 0076-09E2

  Directory of U:\jdk1.2.2

File Not Found

U:\>dir *.htm*
  Volume in drive U is dsh2120
  Volume Serial Number is 0076-09E2

  Directory of U:\jdk1.2.2

Doesn't happen on Linux for me. Tested for Windows 2000 and XP accessing 
Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 with samba 2.2.3a.
