It was a straight cut and paste into gmail. The space is not visible in the Terminal window. I also only see it in the exit-hooks line in your quoted text (not the enter line).

Here it is again after telling gmail to make this a plain text message before doing the paste. root@ldesk:/etc# ls -alF /etc/dh* total 40 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2006-09-06 09:00 ./ drwxr-xr-x 115 root root 8192 2006-09-07 08:40 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1554 2006-09-06 09:00 dhclient.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1566 2005-09-14 17:41 dhclient.conf~ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-07-13 15:03 dhclient-enter-hooks.d/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-06-07 21:33 dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8322 2006-05-05 08:02 dhclient-script* root@ldesk:/etc# I do not see the space in what I just pasted above.
