more on strange file names

[Daniel R. Levy]

> find . -inum # -exec /bin/rm {} \;

Guys, this actually works even on file names containing non-ascii characters!
Try it (write a little c program which creates such a file, then proceed to
bomb it this way).  In fact if you want to keep the file, /bin/mv will work
just fine too (to give it a name accessible from the shell).  If the file is
in / or some other directory under which several filesystems are mounted, no
sweat.  Change the /bin/rm to /bin/rm -i.
