Listing the contents of a directory on our file server (a Samba share) by t=
=3D
he following command:
=20
=3DA0=3DA0 $ ls -l
=20
or explicitly
=20
=3DA0=3DA0 $ ls -l ./
=20
the output is

=3DA0=3DA0 ----------+ 1 ???????? <group> 600 2009-09-09 11:12 README.txt
=3DA0=3DA0 d---------+ 1 ???????? <group>=3DA0=3DA0 0 2009-09-09 11:03 conf
=20
whereas the following command:
=20
=3DA0=3DA0 $ ls -l .\\
=20
outputs
=20
=3DA0=3DA0 -rw-r--r-- 1 <user> <group> 600 2009-09-09 11:12 README.txt
=3DA0=3DA0 drwxr-xr-x 1 <user> <group>=3DA0=3DA0 0 2009-09-09 11:03 conf

I presume this behaviour has something to do with this point:

unt flags.
=20
My goal is to specify 'noacl' for forward slash UNC paths in order to displ=

ay file permissions in the same way as they are displayed with backslash UN=
=3D
C paths.
=20
Is there any way to do this without mounting all file servers in question (=
=3D
we have many) with the 'noacl' option?
