Hi, It's unclear to me if this has been addressed definitively yet, so here goes nothing:
I think there's no justification (pun intended) for the current right-justification of uid's/gid's -- it really looks ugly. Sure it stands out, but I don't think ls should be in the business of doing special formatting by default based on someone's arbitrary definition of what needs a user's special attention -- it's contrary to UNIX philosophy btw. Ls should basically just list files, and their associated data, by default in a clean format -- nothing more. BJ ridiculous formatting that I don't care for: total 16 drwx--x--x 3 root staff 4096 Apr 10 23:27 . drwxrwxrwt 17 root staff 8192 Apr 10 23:23 .. -rw------- 1 666 staff 0 Apr 10 23:27 foo dr-xr-xr-x 8 ftp admin 4096 Mar 20 2002 ftp -rw------- 1 aliceinwonderland staff 0 Apr 10 23:27 humpty-dumpty clean formatting: total 16 drwx--x--x 3 root staff 4096 Apr 10 23:27 . drwxrwxrwt 17 root staff 8192 Apr 10 23:29 .. -rw------- 1 666 staff 0 Apr 10 23:27 foo dr-xr-xr-x 8 ftp admin 4096 Mar 20 2002 ftp -rw------- 1 aliceinwonderland staff 0 Apr 10 23:27 humpty-dumpty _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
