This is a bug in your GNU/Linux system, you should report it to the people who maintain it.
The behaviour you see probobly happens because your shell initialision file doesn't do: eval "`dircolors /etc/DIR_COLORS`" or similar. Happy hacking. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
