I mistakenly though... for some stupid reason -- that /bin/ls was some bastardized gnuls... but that appears not to be the case. I just wish there was a way that one could pass another -A option to disable this. Oh, and sorry if this isn't the right list. How about: How does one shutdown freebsd and make a laptop or other machine power off? I always have to hit the reset button. It reminds me too much of 'blows... and I'd like to get away from that. Thanks everyone who is pointing out to me, in private messages, that all the OSes that I haven't ever usedseem to have -A for root as default. :-> Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
