While reading the man page for the ls(1) command
I came across an option I had not seen before
"--author".  It must be used with the -l option.
The output adds another column after owner and
group which matches the owner in all cases I've
tested.

So far I've not found any explanation for "author".
Anyone heard of it?

OS is Fedora 9.
