Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/445

According to man firejail-profile file globbing is supported. However, it seems that it doesn't work with all switches.

E.g., I tried to tighten wine.profile and added the following line:

private-bin wine*,xdg-open,update-desktop-database

When I started the Windows application with the --debug switch I got the following message:

Warning: not all executables from --private-bin list were found. The current list is xdg-open,update-desktop-database

After modifying that line to

private-bin wine,wineserver ....etc.

I didn't get this warning.

If file globbing not being supported with private-bin (and possibly private-etc) is the intentional behavior it should be mentioned in the man page, IMHO.
