This is weird, since ls-F What's happening is when you type ls-F -x where x is an argument tcsh doesn't know how to deal with it execs an ls from your path. If color is set it execs ls --color=auto -x (where x is the argument(s) you specified). I think --color=auto is a linux thing. When FreeBSD's ls sees (presumably with a call to getopt) an argument starting with -- it ignores that argument and finishes switch processing so anything folowing is interpreted as a filename. To solve the problem you seen to set color=ls-F. Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
