Description Charles R. Anderson 2008-02-08 03:27:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

/etc/profile.d/colorls.csh has this syntax which is invalid in csh/tcsh:

eval `dircolors -c $COLORS 2>/dev/null`

You can't redirect ONLY stderr in csh/tcsh.  It isn't supported.
Not sure what the intent is here, but you can redirect BOTH stdout/stderr with
>&.  See this for description of the issue and some workarounds:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.10-5.fc9
Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2008-02-14 15:42:07 UTC 
Will not redirect anything - this was the way how it works in F8. Done in
coreutils-6.10-7.fc9 , closing RAWHIDE.
