The problem is that tcsh 6.14.00 treats LS_COLORS as a magic environment variable, also parsing it for its own use in the tcsh builtin ls-F. This means that coreutils dircolors, when given an SUID coloration, will output data that is expected by coreutils ls but unexpected by unpatched tcsh. -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
