Hello,
With OpenBSD 4.4, I got the color in console with the ls command and the
package gnuls.

But with OpenBSD 4.5, it does not work.
    

This may be slightly asinine, but just to confirm, with OpenBSD 4.4,
you had this package installed, and with OpenBSD 4.5 you have the same
package installed?

And with neither version did you have this package installed, which
also provides purrtee ls colours?
http://www.openbsd.org/4.5_packages/i386/colorls-4.5.tgz-long.html

Also, and I'm ashamed to even ask you this, but of course you are
using the right package/port version for your system?

I just tried both of these, only, only gnuls worked.
But it cut username and groupname down to eight characters.
I tried all the options that seemed appropriate, like --tabsize and --width
These failed to have any effect.

Is there a fix for this? Ilike cute, pretty colors, but not if it cuts 
info!!
