If you remove the space, you will not be able to work with symbolic links properly.
They look like this:
-blahblah---- 1 eric engineer 0 somedate imalink -> realfile
Not quite: they look like this:
lblahblah---- 1 eric engineer 0 somedate imalink -> realfile
^
spot the difference?
so you could use the 'l' at the beginning to check whether or not to
interpret the ' -> ' as a symbolic link.
Of course, if you then call a symbolic link 'imalink -> tothis' you get the
preoblem back. Of course if you call a file amoething like that you deserve
whatever you get....
