ls command alignment problem

With older Linux servers, the command:
ls -al

would output text that would have the filenames all lined up in the same column (the owner and group names were truncated to produce a uniform right column).

In newer distros (i.e. RHEL 3), the command will push the right column out when owners and groups have longer names, making the output "messy" and harder to read in long directory lists.

Does anyone know a way to get ls -al to output results with the right column list of filenames all left justified?

GLGETUNIFORM(3G)						    OpenGL 3.3							  GLGETUNIFORM(3G)

NAME
glGetUniformfv, glGetUniformiv - Returns the value of a uniform variable C SPECIFICATION
void glGetUniformfv(GLuint program, GLint location, GLfloat *params); void glGetUniformiv(GLuint program, GLint location, GLint *params); PARAMETERS
program Specifies the program object to be queried. location Specifies the location of the uniform variable to be queried. params Returns the value of the specified uniform variable. DESCRIPTION
glGetUniform returns in params the value(s) of the specified uniform variable. The type of the uniform variable specified by location determines the number of values returned. If the uniform variable is defined in the shader as a boolean, int, or float, a single value will be returned. If it is defined as a vec2, ivec2, or bvec2, two values will be returned. If it is defined as a vec3, ivec3, or bvec3, three values will be returned, and so on. To query values stored in uniform variables declared as arrays, call glGetUniform for each element of the array. To query values stored in uniform variables declared as structures, call glGetUniform for each field in the structure. The values for uniform variables declared as a matrix will be returned in column major order. The locations assigned to uniform variables are not known until the program object is linked. After linking has occurred, the command glGetUniformLocation() can be used to obtain the location of a uniform variable. This location value can then be passed to glGetUniform in order to query the current value of the uniform variable. After a program object has been linked successfully, the index values for uniform variables remain fixed until the next link command occurs. The uniform variable values can only be queried after a link if the link was successful. NOTES
If an error is generated, no change is made to the contents of params. ERRORS
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if program is not a value generated by OpenGL. GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if program is not a program object. GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if program has not been successfully linked. GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if location does not correspond to a valid uniform variable location for the specified program object. ASSOCIATED GETS
glGetActiveUniform() with arguments program and the index of an active uniform variable glGetProgram() with arguments program and GL_ACTIVE_UNIFORMS or GL_ACTIVE_UNIFORM_MAX_LENGTH glGetUniformLocation() with arguments program and the name of a uniform variable glIsProgram() SEE ALSO
