Hi This is probably not a bug, but a usability issue. 'ls -l' takes a long time to make a listing of directories, if the user and group names have to be fetched from a NIS server overseas. (We are in Europe and the NIS server is in California). Wouldn't there be a possibility to cache the user/group names already fetched for the current directory listing to recycle them? If I do 'ls -ln' it is much faster (numerical user/group names).
