Just outta curiousity...why bother with a pipe through grep for such a
simple command?

prez# ls -l /etc | grep localtime
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel      30 Jan 31 17:28 localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern

prez# ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  30 Jan 31 17:28 /etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern
