From: John Hawkinson <jhawk@MIT.EDU>
System name: opus.mit.edu
Type and version: i686 9.0.19 (with mkserv)
Display type: XFree86 4.0.3
Shell: /bin/sh (/bin/athena/tcsh?)
Window manager: unknown
What were you trying to do?
"less -N /etc/passwd" and see line numbers.
What's wrong:
No line numbers are displayed. Other versions of less, from
the sipb, outland, and ops lockers all work just fine.
What should have happened:
When is this question ever different from above?
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
LESS(1) LESS(1)
-N or --LINE-NUMBERS
Causes a line number to be displayed at the begin-
ning of each line in the display.
