You should create an normal user account for everydays work. If you are already logged in as a normal user, type alias at the command prompt. Look for lines which will change the default behaviour of ls. Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
