Let me start out by saying that I think that ls is not working the way I expect it.
If I do a ls -la in the directory that contains symbolic links, the links are displayed, such as: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Dec 4 11:01 mysql -> /usr/local/mysql But, if I do a ls -al on mysql, I get: total 0 drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 4096 Dec 4 10:59 . drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Dec 4 10:59 .. Sorry, not the expected behaviour. I do not want it to traverse the link. So, to the man page I went. I see a -L option. so I try it: total 0 drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 4096 Dec 4 10:59 . drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Dec 4 10:59 .. Same damn result. Yes, the directory is currently empty. I am running RH 7.1 and want ls to return to the old behaviour of not traversing symbolic links, or have an option that works. Is there an option that works, or do I need to submit a bug to the e-mail address listed in the man page?
