I noticed that, when running configure with: --enable-no-install-program="groups,id,kill,su,uptime,hostname,arch" which, by the way, causes these warnings (which are ok I suppose): configure: WARNING: 'groups' is already not being installed configure: WARNING: 'su' is already not being installe

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 specia
