Hi experts !

I'm just playing with bash's "extglob" option:

$ shopt -s extglob
$ echo /etc/ssh/sshd_config?(.d)
/etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d
$

So far, so good. But now I want to catch the global file and potential 
custom files.

$ echo /etc/ssh/sshd_config?(.d/*)
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
$

I would accept this if there were no files in the directory but in fact, 
there is one. Where's my brain fault?

And to my understanding, ksh behaves like this by default, right?

Regards

	Frank
