chmod broke? Or perhaps ' ls -l ' is inaccurate here

Okay... double check here... (I try both spellings below):

ash$ cd /usr/work
ash$ ls -l i*
rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone   111586 May 29 21:12 input
rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone      227 May 29 21:10 input.cpp
rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone      203 May 29 21:06 input.mak
ash$ chmod -v 777 input.
ode of input. changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
ash$ ls -l i*
rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone   111586 May 29 21:12 input
rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone      227 May 29 21:10 input.cpp
rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone      203 May 29 21:06 input.mak
ash$ chmod -v 777 input
ode of input changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
ash$ ls -l i*
rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone   111586 May 29 21:12 input
rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone      227 May 29 21:10 input.cpp
rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone      203 May 29 21:06 input.mak
ash$

Hmmm, still peculiar.

Thanks for the reply
