New Not Broken
This is not broken behavior. The globbing definition in bash is (from the man page):

"If no matching file names are found, and the shell option nullglob is disabled, the word is left unchanged. If the nullglob option is set, and no matches are found, the word is removed."

I can think of one advantage of this behavior: This permits the passing of wildcards when using scp to copy from a remote host.

New Thanks
That'll teach me to RTFM.

I'm glad you can turn off this behaviour, as it would be a royal pain in the patooty if you couldn't.

New No it won't
That'll teach me to RTFM.

If you don't already know that, then this one more example won't teach you. But then, since you deal with (l)users all the time, you already know that, too, don't you?
