unable to create any directory that uses numbers as thedirectory name

[Kozakoff,Stephen J]

Is there any difference if you use the keys on the keypad vs above the
letters?

What are you using to access the machine puTTY? Console? What keyboard
emulation? 

When you do mkdir could you add the -v option to see if you get more
info?

Anything change about this server recently? New keyboard...?

root at server52 [~]# unalias mkdir
-bash: unalias: mkdir: not found
root at server52 [~]#


I already mentioned mkdir had no alias set.

Thanks
