OT disclaimer... what controls the standard date abbreviation? On some Linux systems 'ls -l' displays the year, on others it doesn't. 'finger' duplicates the behavior, so it appears to be some heinous system-wide setting.
BTW: I've found the --full-time option for ls, but still want to know how to set default behavior. TIA, PM -- Paul Mackinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
