rm -- -t
That is rm followed by 2 "-" characters, followed by the name.
In most *NIX programs, the "--" (double dash) indicates no more arguments
to parameters.

Assunto: -t file
Hello all,
A user on one of our AIX systems has somehow managed
to create a file called "-t". I've gone through my bag
of tricks trying to remove it, but I can't seem to
delete it. In fact, the only way that I can even do a
listing of the file is with 'ls -l'. Here is what the
file looks like:
soms01dx root /
> ls -l
total 92248
-rw-r--r-- 1 garneem quest 9729 Mar 17 12:29 config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root quest 1988 Mar 17 12:29 qdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 garneem quest 1196 Mar 17 12:21 -t
Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this file?
Thanks!
-Stephen Spalding
