Thanks for all the responses.
Most people suggested looking for aliases (which was what I had
already done before I realised this was actually the default behaviour
for root)
The way to change it would probably be to alias roots ls
alias ls "ls | grep -v "\."
Apart from that this has been the default behaviour for years and any
unix based application should be taking this into consideration. (And
they do)
As it turned out the problem I was having was actually being caused
from the NT end (unix was behaving perfectly <-:)
Thanks
Sue

Subject: ls behaviour as root
Hi all
Does anyone know how to change the default behaviour of roots ls on
DU?
It acts the same as ls -A (showing all the dotfiles). I have a hunch
this is having a follow on effect with some software we are running
and would like to be able to get it to do a plain ls.
TIA
Sue
