Please post an example of what you are seeing.


ls -al should give you the long listing.

ls -E will also give the full date, and full time down to the nano-second.

Use -E option:
Code:
-E           The same as -l, except  displays  time  to  the
             nanosecond  and  with  one format for all files
             regardless  of age: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.nnnnnnnnn (ISO 8601:2000 format).
