Steve,

ls -l shows you the date and time of a file if it is less than 6 months old. After that, the time is replaced with the year.

As for your first system, that file is dated in the future [ August of this year ] (assuming your system has the correct date and time
set.). So, it gives the year also, since it is not today or the past six months.

As for the order of date and month, I would suspect that your $LANG or other regional settings do not match. Like English-USA verses
Europe. Sorry, I manage RS/6000 all over world, but we always set them up as we do in USA so I am not sure about the date order
difference.

All,

Hopefully a quick question. We have several systems (aix 5L) which when you
do a "ls -l" command the output is as follows

drwxr-xr-x 45 bin bin 1024 Aug 18 2004 usr

and on other systems when you do a "ls -l" the output is as follows

drwxr-xr-x 42 root system 1024 11 Feb 10:14 usr

If you compare the two you will see that the date part on the first one is
in the order "month date year/time" (Aug 18 2004) and the second one the
date format is "date month year/time" (11 Feb 10:14).

Can anyone shed any light as to what is happening here and how we can make
all the systems display the date part in a consistent manner?

Thanks in advance

Steve Copper
