Thanks!

/usr/bin/ls & /usr/ucb/ls come with the OS.  The man page explains
the differences (/usr/bin uses the SysV flags, /usr/ucb uses the ucb
flags - they're not compatible, for instance -g on /usr/ucb/ls means
"add group name to -l format", while on /usr/bin/ls it means "remove
group name from -l format").

/usr/local/bin/ls does not come with the OS, so it's whatever you've
installed locally (likely GNU ls).

/usr/bin/sparcv9/ls  -- 64-bit ls
/usr/xpg4/bin/ls     -- POSIX-compatible ls

You might want to be using /usr/bin/sparcv9/ls on any modern Sparc
system with a 64-bit OS, as it should handle files with large
timestamps correctly; /usr/bin/ls doesn't.  I hope the Opteron-based
systems will also have a 64-bit 'ls', whenever their 64-bit OSes are
released.

Or you could build and install a 64-bit GNU "ls" as /usr/local/bin/ls
(which would be even better :-).

Bye, Dragan
