Named pipes on the UNIX PC, is there a problem with ls(1)?

Well sports fans the reason ls on the 3B1 is not marking named pipes correctly
is that it is the BSD version of ls. It must not have been modified to handle
named pipes. The easiest way to check this is link /bin/ls and /bin/lf then type
lf. It will act as if you typed "ls -F", a totally Berkeley trait.
