Good point. My Solaris 10 host is down right now, but Solaris 9 does not complain: 54-pete $ ls -l foo lrwxrwxrwx 1 eggert eggert 7 Feb 26 15:22 foo -> nowhere 55-pete $ /bin/ls -L eggert.kshh foo savsmtptemp 56-pete $ /usr/xpg4/bin/ls -L eggert.kshh foo savsmtptemp OpenBSD 3.4 ls is similar. So I guess your fix has _removed_ an incompatibility rather than added one. Good show! > I just reread the POSIX wording So did I. It is a bit muddy. I think we can do whatever we want here, and I don't see a strong reason to do it one way or the other so I prefer being compatible with the other guys. I'd write up a NEWS item but I'm not sure when the GNU ls behavior changed. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
