Having it remain non-space long-term is OK. But I think that we need to have Lenny released with a version of ls that doesn't display "+" on every file. That means that either the code to display some character other than "+" in the case of files with a SE Linux context needs to be written reasonably soon (and a final decision has to be made on which character it will be) or we need to release lenny with the same functionality as etch in this regard. -- russell@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Blog http://www.coker.com.au/sponsorship.html Sponsoring Free Software development -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
