I need to figure out why it thinks that. This wasn't happening in CentOS
7.

I'm puzzled. I can't find anything in the Gnu coreutils manual to describe this format. I do note that outside Epsilon, the sort order changes, ignoring leading dots and the case of filenames. So it seems like a locale thing.

<https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#Directory-listing>

Notable environment variable differences:

Outside, LS_COLORS has a very long string. LANG=en_US.UTF-8. TERM=xterm.

Inside, LS_COLORS is present but empty. LANG=C. TERM=dumb.

Changing these doesn't seem to fix the abbreviated permissions field. Setting LANG does change the sort order so at least I understand that.

I may have to pull the coreutils-8.30-6.el8.x86_64 sources to see how ls makes these decisions.
