Description Murilo Opsfelder Araújo 2007-03-15 18:10:04 UTC 
ls automatically add -A option for root user. I believe it's better to have a way to disable this at buildworld time.

This patch implements an option NO_LSAUTODOT, that can be used on make.conf to disable that feature.

A build option is unnecessary for something so minor and easily worked
around, just set an alias of ls=ls -I for your root shell.

As kris mentioned, this is best done on individual systems.
