>Description:

	as ls(1) turns on the -A flag when running as root, it is not
	possible to turn it off again.  this is undesireable.  wouldn't
	it be better to make ls(1) an alias in root's .cshrc to use
	this flag, thus keeping the current `semantics', but also giving
	people the choice if they so desired ?

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

	add a line to root/.cshrc
	remove a couple of lines from src/bin/ls/ls.c and ls.1
