Solaris 10 "ls" (both /bin/ls and /usr/xpg4/bin/ls) appends the slash. 1001-otter $ /usr/xpg4/bin/ls -d -F / /usr /usr/ // /usr/ /usr// 1002-otter $ /bin/ls -d -F / /usr /usr/ // /usr/ /usr// 1003-otter $ coreutils-5.93/bin/ls -d -F / /usr /usr/ // /usr/ /usr// OpenBSD 3.4 /bin/ls is similar to Solaris 10. So, if we change this, we'll introduce an incompatibility with widespread existing practice. I'm a bit inclined to let sleeping dogs lie, unless perhaps we're actually on a system where / and // are different directories. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
