ls problem with Winbind files? Workaround

[Josh Konkol]

Here is a workaround for this problem.  Thanks to Mark Cooke for coming up 
with it.

First, create an alias to a new command using the following command. 

 alias list='find * -maxdepth 0 -printf "%m %4n %-20u %-20g %7s %t %f\n"'

Now when you're in the directory you want to view just type list (or whatever 
command you assigned) and you'll see 20 characters on the user and group 
names.

Hope this helps everyone.

Josh
