hi, as of ls (GNU coreutils) 6.9 this bug is still not fixed.
ls --color | od -tx1z 0000000 1b 5b 30 30 6d 1b 5b 30 31 3b 33 36 6d 74 65 73 >.[00m.[01;36mtes< 0000020 74 1b 5b 30 30 6d 40 0a 1b 5b 6d >[EMAIL PROTECTED]< 0000033 ls --color test | od -tx1z 0000000 1b 5b 30 30 6d 1b 5b 34 30 3b 33 31 3b 30 31 6d >.[00m.[40;31;01m< 0000020 74 65 73 74 1b 5b 30 30 6d 40 0a 1b 5b 6d >[EMAIL PROTECTED]< 0000036 quote from mathew: Hmm... that's interesting... I just tested: coreutils 6.6 on NFS server A on RHAS4 (i*86) - broken. coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS4 (i*86) - broken. coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS5 (i*86) - broken. coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS5 (x64) - broken. coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS3 (x64) - works. coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on Sol10 (x64) - works. coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on Sol7 (sparc) - works. ...so I guess it's still spotty.
