Another difference in 'ls' when you're root, of course, is that you get the
owner and group displayed in the 'ls -l' listing, instead of just the owner.

This is nice, though surprising to new super-users.

How do you get this behaviour when you're NOT root? ls -g just gives the group
and not the owner.
