Last night I installed, and then removed, the ftpd and proftpd debs, in that order. Now I cannot by hook or crook get 'ls' to behave as it did before those ftp experiments. 'ls' now sorts strictly by filename -- including directories -- so that the latter are "mixed in" with regular files in the output of 'ls'.
The last time I ran into this putting 'export LC_COLLATE=C' in .bashrc remedied the unwanted behaviour. No such luck this time. I notice in proftpd's postinst script a 'ListOption' configuration variable was set. Did this somehow get lodged somewhere in a system file such that even with the purge of proftpd it is still active? Best regards, -- No no no, my fish's name is Eric, Eric the fish. He's an halibut. I am not a looney! Why should I be tarred with the epithet looney merely because I have a pet halibut? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
