Use "stat" to piece it together: [EMAIL PROTECTED] n6tadam]$ stat -c '%a %A %G %U %N' * 644 -rw-r--r-- n6tadam n6tadam `trymr' 644 -rw-r--r-- n6tadam n6tadam `trytrytry.wav' 644 -rw-r--r-- n6tadam n6tadam `typical.png' 600 -rw------- n6tadam n6tadam `ugh.pdf' 644 -rw-r--r-- n6tadam n6tadam `vsound.wav' as an example.
