I'm curious about the differences in the versions of ls regarding this. Here's the uname outputs: accepts ls -G: FreeBSD *.*.* 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #1: Thu May 11 20:41:07 CDT 2000 root@*.*.*:/usr/src/sys/compile/* i386 doesn't accept ls -G: FreeBSD *.*.* 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Mon Jun 12 18:45:29 CDT 2000 root@*.*.*:/usr/src/sys/compile/* i386 Both of the man pages look the same except for the mention of G as a choice for a switch. -- Drew Sanford Systems Administrator Planetwe.com Email: drew@planetwe.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
