Any way of making Emacs do that automaticly? [snip]. All the things you noted above have been fixed. > Now as to the features.

The reason why I made it one switch was that people would probably want to see the nobody bits and translator information at the same time. At least that is what I would like to have... > First, a simple switch to print the nobody bits.

Well, when S_IUSEUNK is not set the default is to use the group bits (unless there are plans on changing this). So setting them to "---" would give the user a false impression, as the group bits will be used. > We might also want to have a switch that does something like print > the nobody bits iff they are set on any file in the listing.

No idea what options we need for ls.. Anyone got any bright ideas to share? -- Alfred M.
