A system I had the pleasure *cough* to clean up after a root kit hack had
installed its own copies of ps, ls, and find.  When it saw me doing a ls
of different directories, it automatically removed the ones it was using
to hide its files.

The way I got around it was to use the "echo *" command ... not pretty
when trying to view files, but it works. :)
