[I think we've got the idea now.  Let's let this be
   the last "funny ls" type posting.  Thanks.  -mod]

If you have a mean streak in you try this "ls" instead:

	/bin/echo "Beat it nosey!"
	/bin/stty 0

with permissions of:

	---r-xr-x your_uid your_gid ls

One of the Unix machines I worked on had a f*** command that did
something similar.  Nobody ever complained about it though :-)
