I can't follow your arguments here, Terry. When I type this I get "strange" other results ;-) % which top /usr/bin/top It's in the main source tree !

User names with more than 8 characters is already FreeBSD specific. And because of this FreeBSD specific change it would be fine, fix this FreeBSD specific behaviour not to waste 16 colums space, if the displayed user id's consume perhaps only 7 characters. This would leave more space for showing the executed command. Otherwise I'd follow your thoughts ... -- powered by Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html
