The man page for ls says:
-h Use hesiod to resolve names not present in /etc/passwd
or /etc/group. Only useful if used in conjunction with
-l or -g.
-H Use hesiod for all name lookups.
and
There are a large number of options. By default, the value
of the LS environment variable is processed for options.
...
-z Don't use the LS environment variable as a source of
arguments.
I can't get any of these to work. Looking at the source
(/paris/source/4.3/bin/ls.c), I note there are no 'h', 'H', or 'z' case
statements in the argument parsing. Did we flip back to an old version?
