I am a software engineer working for Novell.

Interduction to the problem:
There is a file, with the group owner for the file being systemtest, if I 
execute ls -l for the file, then the group name will be trunkated (i.e. only 
the first 8 characters will be displyed)

The output:
# ls -l test_file
-rw-r--r--    1 admin    systemte        0 May 31 16:52 test_file

Can you please let me know how to get the complete group name?

Thanks,
Geeta
