patch for ls to change owner length

2003-03-07 Thread John Newbigin
If you have usernames or group names longer than 8 characters it is useful to be able to show the full name length The attached patch allows you to set the width of the user name and group name columns via environment variables or the command line. The patch needs a bit of polish but does work OK
