Hi all, Can someone explain this please: [root@ls1 log]$ ls -l /var/log/lastlog -r-------- 1 root root 1254130450140 May 13 16:41 /var/log/lastlog [root@ls1 log]$ du -sk /var/log/lastlog 48 /var/log/lastlog I presume the 'ls' command output is wrong (1.2TBytes) but how do I get the real length in bytes? Cheers, Terry.
