/home/cis90/jessuwes $ umask 777
/home/cis90/jessuwes $ touch newer; mkdir newer
mkdir: cannot create directory `newer': File exists
But,
/home/cis90/jessuwes $ ls -F

cis90_lab4 edits/ letter newdir/ olddir/
class/ etc/ log newer poems/
classlist Hidden/ mbox newfile uhistory
I see the file newer, but no "/" indicating a directory called newer.
And,
/home/cis90/jessuwes $ ls -ld newer
---------- 1 jessuwes cis90 0 Oct 22 16:00 newer
I see no "d" bit set for newer.
Shouldn't the error have been on the creation of the file, and the directory created AND shown to the User as a directory?
Thanks,
Wes
