If you apply 'ls -l' to a directory, it will list the details of the contents of the directory. If you apply 'ls -ld' to a directory, it will list the details of the directory itself. Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l dumpall total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 postgres postgres 4096 Jan 6 2003 6.3 drwxr-xr-x 2 postgres postgres 4096 Jun 30 2002 6.5 drwxr-xr-x 2 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 12 19:13 unknown [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -ld dumpall drwx------ 5 postgres postgres 4096 Jun 30 2002 dumpall -- monique Unless you need to share ultra-sensitive super-spy stuff with me, please don't email me directly.
