whereis ls

When I execute the following:

Code:

<pre>

$ whereis ls
ls: /usr/bin/ls /usr/ucb/ls
$ pwd
/bin
$ ls -la ls
-r-xr-xr-x   1 bin      bin        18120 Oct  6  1998 ls

</pre>

....but as you can see the 'ls' command is in the /bin directory AS WELL. Why doesn't show up on 'whereis'???

Thanks
