Hi, In Red Hat 7.x you could just adjust /etc/DIR_COLORS like ORPHAN 01;37;41 # orphaned syminks MISSING 01;37;41 # ... and the files they point to (removed "05;") to avoid the irritating blinking of failing symlinks. (For me the red color is enough.) But in Red Hat 9 this trick doesn't work. The failing symlinks are blinking anyway :-( What do I have to do to solve this? Best regards, Jan
