Is there a reason that 'ls' exists without a '-C' option? 2. Su all of a sudden seemed to quit working, it starts a shell but has no power, has anyone experienced this? (I changed my prompt from '$' (default) to '%', when I su I get '$' instead of '#'). I can login root and everything goes as it should. 3. I've also had the problem described here with rmdir, did anyone come up with a reason? (rmdir not removing a directory when permissioning was not a factor). Thanks in advance, Jeff -- Jeff Holmes DOMAIN: jeff@questar.mn.org Questar Data Systems UUCP: amdahl!bungia!questar!jeff
