[~]$ mkdir test [~]$ cd test [test]$ ln -s ../.gnome-desktop [test]$ ls -al Works for me here. Symlink to .gnome-desktop shows in cyan as you describe. Check that your DIR_COLORS (fileutils) has not been changed. (Mine has, for testing a problem the other day. DIR_COLORS modify time is different than original, but content is the same) $ rpm --verify fileutils .......T c /etc/DIR_COLORS missing c /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm Also compare DIR_COLORS to your RH7.3 system, and note that RH8 has an additional file, DIR_COLORS.xterm. Finally, you can check the environment variable which ultimately contains this info (LS_COLORS), comparing it also to RH7.3 HTH, Ryan -- Powered by Red Hat Linux 8.0 -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
